Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLovers should guard their strangeness. If they forgive too much, all slides into confusion and meanness.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPeace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose. Foolish people ask you, when you have spoken what they do not wish to hear, 'How do you know it is truth, and not an error of your own?' We know truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
