Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLove not the flower they pluck and know it not, And all their botany is Latin names.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.
