...What torments of pain have you endured that haven't as yet arrived? and may never!
Ralph Waldo EmersonNow that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEmancipation is the demand of civilization. That is a principle; everything else is an intrigue.
