There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all; And where it cometh, all things are; And it cometh everywhere. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it.

We may well call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself withersoever it is wanted. Watt and Stephenson whispered in the ear of mankind their secret, that a half-ounce of coal will draw two tons a mile, and coal carries coal, by rail and by boat, to make Canada as warm as Calcutta, and with its comfort brings its industrial power.

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