"Almost all people descend to meet. All..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour.”

“I have heard that stiff people lose something of their awkwardness under high ceilings, and in spacious halls. I think, sculptureand painting have an effect to teach us manners, and abolish hurry.”

“But I cannot recite, even thus rudely, laws of the intellect, without remembering that lofty and sequestered class of men who have been its prophets and oracles, the high-priesthood of the pure reason, the Trismegisti, the expounders of the principles of thought from age to age.”

“Once you have accepted yourself, it's so much easier to accept other people and their points of view.”

“The kind of man who thinks that helping with the dishes is beneath him will also think that helping with the baby is beneath him, and then he certainly is not going to be a very successful father.”

“Don't build walls and shut people out of your life. To act as if another does not exist is a mean and cruel weapon”

“The problem of the negro is so criminal that many individuals and organizations are going to have to sacrifice what they call their organizational principles if someone comes up with a solution that will really solve the problem.”

“My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don't share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.”

“If you don’t intend having a compromise, you don’t negotiate at all.”
