We must leave our pets at home, when we go into the street, and meet men on broad grounds of good meaning and good sense.
Ralph Waldo EmersonReligion must always be a crab fruit; it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws; and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
