Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonYou cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEach man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship in the river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.
Ralph Waldo EmersonDo not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.
