Nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHe cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe cities drain the country of the best part of its population: the flower of the youth, of both sexes, goes into the towns, andthe country is cultivated by a so much inferior class. The land,--travel a whole day together,--looks poverty-stricken, and the buildings plain and poor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
