Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not an arbitrary decree of God, but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Literature is the effort of man to indemnify himself for the wrongs of his condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other world? There is no other world here or nowhere is the whole fact.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
