We must be courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLove is like a hunter, who cares not for the game when once caught, which he may have pursued with the most intense and breathless eagerness. Love is strongest in pursuit; friendship in possession.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is a principle which is the basis of things, which all speech aims to say, and all action to evolve, a simple, quiet, undescribed, undescribable presence, dwelling very peacefully in us, our rightful lord: we are not to do, but to let do; not to work, but to be worked upon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
