Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Almost every man we meet requires some civility requires to be humored - he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
