In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide; nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Ralph Waldo EmersonCommerce is of trivial import; love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHe is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTo the young mind every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running under ground whereby contrary and remote things cohere and flower out from one stem.
Ralph Waldo EmersonAn eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy. ... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye; it transcends speech; it is the bodily symbol of identity.
