"Every young man is prone to be..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.”

“There is one other reason for dressing well, namely that dogs respect it, and will not attack you in good clothes.”

“Society is infested by persons who, seeing that the sentiments please, counterfeit the expression of them. These we call sentimentalists - talkers who mistake the description for the thing, saying for having.”

“It is sometimes said that because of our past we, as a people, expect too much and set our sights too high. That is not the way I see it. Rather it seems to me that throughout my life in politics our ambitions have steadily shrunk. Our response to disappointment has not been to lengthen our stride but to shorten the distance to be covered. But with confidence in ourselves and in our future what a nation we could be!”

“The day shall not be up so soon as I,To try the fair adventure of tomorrow.”

“Low aim, not failure, is the crime.”

“It is a good idea to obey all the rules when you're young just so you'll have the strength to break them when you're old.”

“You know, in college, I smoked a little pot, did a little blow.”

“I appeal to the Youth and those on the ground: start talking to each other across divisions of race and political organizations.”
