"I have never met a man who..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Genius Borrows nobly.”

“Art and power will go on as they have done,--will make day out of night, time out of space, and space out of time.”

“If the race is good, so is the place.”

“My own share making contribution [to the the well-being of humanity]. So I never feel I am something special.”

“The Master said, "To study, and then in a timely fashion to practice what you have learned - is this not satisfying? To have companions arrive from afar - is this not a joy? To remain unrecognized by others and yet remain free of resentment - is this not the mark of the gentleman?"”

“What is most needed for learning is a humble mind.”

“Some of us learn from other people’s mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people.”

“What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.”

“Genius learns from nature, its own nature. Talent learns from art.”
