"The first point of courtesy must always..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.”

“In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth.”

“Go out of the house to see the moon, and 't is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: 't is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.”

“One had to live a long time to know a man's true nature.”

“Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood let alone believed by the masses.”

“I consider it a public duty to answer falsifications with facts. I will not pretend that I find this an unpleasant duty. I am an old campaigner, and I love a good fight.”

“I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.”

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few.”

“Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.”
