People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.
From Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great.
Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know.
Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey laws too well.
