"What you are shouts at me so..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“True wit never made us laugh.”

“Poetry being ... when we look from the center outward.”

“A man complained that on his way home to dinner he had every day to pass through that long field of his neighbor's. I advised him to buy it, and it would never seem long again.”

“A gentleman is a man who is only rude when he intends to be.”

“It is not always from valor or from chastity that men are brave, and women chaste.”

“In truth I care little about any party's politics—the man behind it is the important thing.”

“I use a different style if I'm speaking to a big crowd; I can gin up folks pretty well. But when I'm in these town hall settings, my job is not to throw them a lot of red meat. I want to give them a sense of my thought process.”

“To me, ultimately, martial arts means honestly expressing yourself.”

“Integrity is not so much what we do as much as who we are.”
