"A human being should beware how he..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Thought dissolves the material universe by carrying the mind up into a sphere where all is plastic.”

“Culture opens the sense of beauty.”

“To make knowledge valuable, you must have the cheerfulness of wisdom.”

“He who loves the bristle of bayonets only sees in the glitter what beforehand he feels in his heart. It is avarice and hatred; it is that quivering lip, that cold, hating eye, which built magazines and powder-houses.”

“The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.”

“At the beginning of anything out of the ordinary, the mass of the people always dislike it.”

“Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.”

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.”

“I will laugh at the world. And most of all, I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously.”
