A poem, a sentence, causes us to see ourselves. I be, and I see my being, at the same time.
Ralph Waldo EmersonA right rule for a club would be,-Admit no man whose presence excludes any one topic.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. (Despite) all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether... The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
