Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.
Ralph Waldo EmersonCities give us collision. 'Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTo finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.
