He is a good man, who can receive a gift well. We are either glad or sorry at a gift, and both emotions are unbecoming.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,--means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,--one as much as another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
