All things are moral; and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEvery man is actually weak, and apparently strong. To himself, he seems weak; to others, formidable.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe come to our own and would make friends with matter, which the ambitious chatter of the schools would persuade us to despise. We can never part with it; the mind loves its old home: as water to our thirst, so is rock, the ground, to our eyes, and hands, and feet. It is firm water: it is cold flame: what health, what affinity!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
