Who makes and keeps the Jew or the Negro base, who but you, who exclude them from the rights which others enjoy?
Ralph Waldo EmersonA man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe first thing a great person does is make us realize the insignificance of circumstance.
