"A great man scarcely knows how he..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“All my hurts my garden spade can heal.”

“Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.”

“What opium is instilled into all disaster? It shows formidable as we approach it, but there is at last no rough rasping friction,but the most slippery sliding surfaces. We fall soft on a thought.”

“We agreed that great men and women should be forced to live as long as possible. The reverence they enjoyed was a life sentence, which they could neither revoke nor modify.”

“We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.”

“A man comes to measure his greatness by the regrets, envies and hatreds of his competitors.”

“As to the adjective: when in doubt, strike it out.”

“An honest man is always a child.[Lat., Semper bonus homo tiro est.]”

“Think as the wise men think, but talk like the simple people do.”
