Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a remedy for every wrong and a satisfaction for every soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, they would have showered a hundred blessings on me.
