His heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI am primarily engaged to myself to be a public servant of all the gods, to demonstrate to all men that there is intelligence andgood will at the heart of all things, and even higher and yet higher leadings. These are my engagements; how can your law further or hinder me in what I shall do to men?
Ralph Waldo EmersonCharacter is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function; living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThat which we are, we are all the while teaching, not voluntarily, but involuntarily.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think; what a saint has felt, he may feel; what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. Who hath access to this universal mind is a party to all that is or can be done, for this is the only and sovereign agent
