"Ideas must work through the brains and..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I admire answers to which no answers can be made.”

“If you cannot be free be as free as you can.”

“Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy.”

“Many soldiers are led to faulty ideas of war by knowing too much about too little.”

“I do not believe that we can put into anyone ideas which are not in him already. As a rule there are in everyone all sorts of good ideas, ready like tinder. But much of this tinder catches fire, or catches it successfully, only when it meets some flame or spark from outside, i.e., from some other person.”

“The light dove, in free flight cutting through the air the resistance of which it feels, could get the idea that it could do even better in airless space. Likewise, Plato abandoned the world of the senses because it posed so many hindrances for the understanding, and dared to go beyond it on the wings of the ideas, in the empty space of pure understanding.”

“Truly, only acting without thought of one's life is superior to valuing one's life.”

“The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

“When a person sets a thing in motion, there's a feeling of unease, almost regret, until you learn the truth.”
