When we see a special reformer we feel like asking him, What right have you, sir, to your own virtue? Is virtue piecemeal?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The first in time and the first in importance of the influences upon the mind is that of nature. Every day, the sun and after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow ever the grass grows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
