"The force of character is cumulative...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Wherever the truth is injured, defend it.”

“But I shall hear without pain, that I play the courtier very ill, and talk of that which I do not well understand.”

“A weed is a plant we've found no use for yet.”

“The test of good education is seeing how it behaves in a fight.”

“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.”

“I think there is only one quality worse than hardness of heart and that is softness of head.”

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior.”

“A feeble man can see the farms that are fenced and tilled, the houses that are built. The strong man sees the possible houses and farms. His eye makes estates as fast as the sun breeds clouds.”

“It is a grand thing to see a man thoroughly possessed with one master-passion. Such a man is sure to be strong, and if the master-principle be excellent, he is sure to be excellent, too.”
