All minds quote. Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands. By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. We quote not only books and proverbs, but arts, sciences, religion, customs, and laws nay, we quote temples and houses, tables and chairs, by imitation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man is at heart just, then in so far is he God the safety of God, the immortality of God, the majesty of God do enter into that man with justice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great mind is a good sailor, as a great heart is.

The gentleman is a man of truth, lord of his own actions, and expressing that lordship in his behavior, not in any manner dependent and servile either on persons, or opinions, or possessions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
