Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat school, college, or lecture bring men depends on what men bring to carry it home in.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIf the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
