"The influence of fine scenery, the presence..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.”

“When there is sympathy, there needs but one wise man in a company and all are wise,--so, a blockhead makes a blockhead of his companion. Wonderful power to benumb possesses this brother.”

“It is said that when manners are licentious, a revolution is always near: the virtue of woman being the main girth and bandage ofsociety; because a man will not lay up an estate for children any longer than whilst he believes them to be his own.”

“The sun shines today also.”

“No one has a right to obstruct another exercising his faculties innocently for the relief of sensibilities made a part of his nature.”

“No form of nature is inferior to art; for the arts merely imitate natural forms.”

“No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.”

“When we got married, we knew our honeymoon was going to be public, anyway, so we decided to use it to make a statement. We sat in bed and talked to reporters for seven days. It was hilarious. In effect, we were doing a commercial for peace on the front page of the papers instead of a commercial for war.”

“The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.”
