The intelligent have a right over the ignorant; namely, the right of instructing them.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTo be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining forthe metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
