Wisdom is not found with those who dwell at their ease; rather nature, when she adds brain, adds difficulty.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe common experience is, that the man fits himself as well as he can to the customary details of that work or trade he falls into, and tends it as a dog turns a spit. Then he is part of the machine he moves; the man is lost.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThat is ever the difference between the wise and the unwise: the latter wonders at what is unusual; the wise man wonders at the usual.
