Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our best thoughts come from others.
Wisdom has its root in goodness, not goodness its root in wisdom.
He has not learned the lesson of life who does not every day surmount a fear.
A friend is one before whom you may think aloud.
When a whole nation is roaring patriotism at the top of its voice, I am fain to explore the cleanness of its hands and purity of its heart.
God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both.
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
