"There is no den in the wide..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“In imitation is a bit suicide.”

“Beauty rests on necessities.”

“I find the Englishman to be him of all men who stands firmest in his shoes. They have in themselves what they value in their horses, mettle and bottom.”

“Thou warden of the western gate, above Manhattan Bay, The fogs of doubt that hid thy face are driven clean away: Thine eyes at last look far and clear, thou liftest high thy hand To spread the light of liberty world-wide for every land.”

“Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.”

“To large numbers of American citizens life in certain parts of the country becomes intolerably hazardous. They may be seized on any pretext, however flimsy, and put to death with horrible tortures. No government pretending to be civilized can go on condoning such atrocities. Either it must make every possible effort to put them down or it must suffer the scorn and contempt of Christendom.”

“Explaining humor is a lot like dissecting a frog, you learn a lot in the process, but in the end you kill it.”

“There can be no difference anywhere that does not make a difference somewhere.”

“Yes, the cost is high, but the price of neglect would be infinitely higher.”
