The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it..." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.

People say law but they mean wealth.

What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings.

The blazing evidence of immortality is our dissatisfaction with any other solution.

We know truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.

Truth gathers itself spotless and unhurt after all our surrenders and concealments and partisanship; never hurt by the treachery or ruin of its best defenders, whether Luther, or William Penn, or St. Paul.
