Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would serve your brother it is fit for you to serve him, do not take back your words when you find that prudent people do not commend you. Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a decorous age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though I am weak, yet God, when prayed, Cannot withhold his conquering aid.
