"Any extraordinary degree of beauty in man..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The whole constitution of property on its present tenures, is injurious, and its influence on persons deteriorating and degrading.”

“Many might go to Heaven with half the labor they go to hell.”

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

“So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”

“The affairs of music ought, somehow, to terminate in the love of the beautiful.”

“You must really begin to harden yourself to the idea of being worth looking at.”

“Moral result can only be produced by moral restraints.”

“In goodness there are all kinds of wisdom.”

“Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ʿreligionʾ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better.”
