"The effect of the indulgence of human..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Of course, he who has put forth his total strength in fit actions, has the richest return of wisdom.”

“An individual is an encloser. Time and space, liberty and necessity, truth and thought, are left at large no longer.”

“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.”

“The way to change others' minds is with affection, and not anger.”

“A chuck under the chin is worth two kisses.”

“If we lose affection and kindliness from our life: we lose all that gives it charm.”

“Memories, impressions and emotions from the first 20 years on earth are most writers' main material; little that comes afterward is quite so rich and resonant.”

“Fonts. I get emotional over fonts.”

“I always had the deepest affection for people who carried sublime tears in their silences.”
