"Nothing is great but the inexhaustible wealth..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Freedom is not the right to live as we please, but the right to find how we ought to live in order to fulfill our potential.”

“[W]e pity our fathers for dying before steam and galvanism, sulphuric ether and ocean telegraphs, photograph and spectrograph arrived, as cheated out of their human estate.”

“Prudence is the virtue of the senses. It is the science of appearances. It is the outmost action of the inward life.”

“The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-travelled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”

“When great leaves fall, the winter is at hand.”

“I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses. We must never forget that it is our duty to protect this environment.”

“Difficulty is a nurse of greatness-a harsh nurse, who rocks her foster children roughly, but rocks them in strength and athletic proportion. The mind, grappling with great aims and wrestling with mighty impediments, grows by a certain necessity to the stature of greatness.”

“There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.”

“The first time I ever saw Arnold Palmer, I said, There's a star. The first time I saw Jack Nicklaus, I said, Superstar. I feel the same way about Tiger Woods.”
