"Our opinions of the world, are confessions..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The first questions are always to be asked, and the wisest doctor is gravelled by the inquisitiveness of a child.”

“We love flattery, even though we are not deceived by it, because it shows that we are of importance enough to be courted.”

“Things refuse to be mismanaged for long.”

“The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all.”

“A man cannot speak but he judges himself. With his will or against his will he draws his portrait to the eye of his companions by every word. Every opinion reacts on him who utters it. It is a threadball thrown at a mark, but the other end remains on the thrower”

“We think very few people sensible, except those who are of our opinion.”

“Only as an aesthetic product can the world be justified to all eternity.”

“Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long as the naturalist overlooks the wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the world; of which he is lord, not because he is the most subtile inhabitant, but because he is its head and heart, and finds something of himself in every great and small thing, in every mountain stratum, in every new law of color, fact of astronomy, or atmospheric influence which observation or analysis lay open.”

“They are the privileged lovers who create a new world with their eyes of fiery passion.”
