There is also something excellent in every audience,--the capacity of virtue. They are ready to be beatified.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn the woods, too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods we return to reason and faith.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
