Ralph Waldo Emerson
To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The uses of travel are occasional, and short but the best fruit it finds, when it finds it, is conversation and this is a main function of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People who wash much have a high mind about it, and talk down to those who wash little.
