A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThat which we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so.
Ralph Waldo EmersonSleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to deed. A skillful man reads his dreams for his self-knowledge; yet not the details, but the quality. What part does he play in them - a cheerful, manly part, or a poor, drivelling part? However monstrous and grotesque their apparitions, they have a substantial truth.
