People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. 'Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night's lodging. 'Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHis heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong.
