In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLet us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
Ralph Waldo EmersonBehind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,--the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead.The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom.
