"...man is an analogist, and studies relations..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The man who renounces himself, comes to himself.”

“The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere.”

“For all symbols are fluxional; all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.”

“The music does bring us together and it's cheaper than therapy!”

“We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.”

“Nature must be viewed humanly to be viewed at all; that is, her scenes must be associated with humane affections, such as are associated with one's native place. She is most significant to a lover. A lover of Nature is preeminently a lover of man. If I have no friend, what is Nature to me? She ceases to be morally significant. . .”

“If I'm here, I'll be trying to be a better human being, a better writer, a better friend and a better beloved.”

“The wise man, the true friend, the finished character, we seek everywhere, and only find in fragments.”

“World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.”
