The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anewย it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
