The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musican, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce.
Ralph Waldo EmersonA good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.
Ralph Waldo EmersonSome of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you've endured From evils that never arrived.
