Men seek to be great; they would have offices, wealth, power, and fame. They think that to be great is to possess one side of nature,--the sweet, without the other side,--the bitter.
Ralph Waldo EmersonFreedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you should.
Ralph Waldo EmersonGo, speed the stars of Thought On to their shining goals; - The sower scatters broad his seed, The wheat thou strew'st be souls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
