"All great natures delight in stability; all..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Beauty rests on necessities.”

“The mark of a man of the world is absence of pretension.”

“When you have worn out your shoes, the strength of the show fiber has passed into your body.”

“Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness.”

“A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.”

“Not gold but only men can makeA people great and strong;Men who for truth and honors sakeStand fast and suffer long. Brave men who work while others sleep,Who dare while others flyThey build a nations pillars deepAnd lift them to the sky.”

“Your emotions are very unstable and should never be the foundation for direction in your life.”

“What we have to find is the right level of regulation of our financial system so that it has the incentive to invest in things, but at the same time, it is sufficiently regulated so it can't get in the kind of trouble that we have seen in the past and we have seen recently.”

“So when at times the mob is swayed To carry praise or blame too far, We may choose something like a star To stay our minds on and be staid.”
