Good men must not obey the laws too well.
From Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest revelation is that God is in every man.
People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.
Speak the truth, and all things alive or brute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there, do seem to stir and move to bear you witness.
Every man I meet is in some way my superior.
A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue.
Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait.
In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
I have lost my mental faculties but am perfectly well.
Every book is a quotation; and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries; and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.
