"Truth is always present; it only needs..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.”

“The delicious faces of children, the beauty of school-girls, "the sweet seriousness of sixteen," the lofty air of well-born, well-bred boys, the passionate histories in the looks and manners of youth and early manhood, and the varied power in all that well-known company that escort us through life,--we know how these forms thrill, paralyze, provoke, inspire, and enlarge us.”

“Poverty consist in feeling poor.”

“The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one.”

“Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.”

“Like oneWho having into truth, by telling of it,Made such a sinner of his memory,To credit his own lie.”

“The stream of thinking has enormous momentum that can easily drag you along with it. Every thought pretends that it matters so much.”

“I fancy that most people who think at all have done a great deal of their thinking in the first fourteen years.”

“It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.”
