Very idle is all curiosity concerning other people's estimate of us, and all fear of remaining unknown is not less so.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEverywhere I am hindered of meeting God in my brother, because he has shut his own temple doors and recites fables merely of his brother's, or his brother's brother's God.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI am old, yet I look at wise men and see that I am very young. I look over those stars yonder, and into the myriads of the aspirant and ordered souls, and see I am a stranger and a youth and have yet my spurs to win. Too ridiculous are these airs of age.
Ralph Waldo EmersonYou cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
