When a man is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.

Vast spaces of nature; the Atlantic Ocean, the South Sea; vast intervals of time, years, centuries, are of no account. This which I think and feel, underlay that former state of life and circumstances, as it does underlie my present, and will always circumstance, and what is called life, and what is called death.

Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. All are needed by each one; Nothing is fair or good alone.
