Image
The right eloquence needs no bell to call the people together, and no constable to keep them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages.
