"Only the great generalizations survive. The sharp..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Give all to love; Obey thy heart.”

“The farmer after sacrificing pleasure, taste, freedom, thought, love, to his work, turns out often a bankrupt, like the merchant.This result might well seem astounding. All this drudgery, from cockcrowing to starlight, for all these years, to end in mortgages and the auctioneer's flag, and removing from bad to worse. It is time to have the thing looked into, and with a sifting criticism ascertained who is the fool.”

“As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought.”

“If you can't communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you're giving up your potential.”

“It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.”

“Everything worthwhile is a good idea, but did you ever notice there is more bad ideas that will work than there is good ones?”

“The Times are the masquerade of the eternities; trivial to the dull, tokens of noble and majestic agents to the wise; the receptacle in which the Past leaves its history; the quarry out of which the genius of today is building up the Future.”

“Only a handful of men and women leave an imprint on the conscience of a nation and on the history that they helped shape.”

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”
