The great man, that is, the man most imbued with the spirit of the time, is the impressionable man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHappiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself.
Ralph Waldo EmersonEvery day, the sun; and, after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow; ever the grass grows. Every day, men and women, conversing, beholding and beholden. The scholar is he of all men whom this spectacle most engages. He must settle its value in his mind. What is nature to him?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
