To mask the fiery thought,
in simple words succeeds.
For still the craft of genius is,
To mask a king in weeds

Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.

Happy is the house that shelters a friend!

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world. No hope so bright but is the beginning of its own fulfillment.
