"Make yourself necessary to somebody...." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathern boxes.”

“Cities of mortals woe-begone Fantastic care derides, But in the serious landscape lone Stern benefit abides.”

“I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances.”

“Great goals make great people. People cannot hit what they do not aim for.”

“My life nah important to me, but other people life important. My life is only important if me can help plenty people. If my life is just for me and my own security then me no want it. My life is for people. That's way me is.”

“When I contemplated purpose I also contemplated chance and foolishness.”

“I started out making $4 for my first fight, but imagine paying $25,000 for a painting...look at me!”

“Pain pays the income of each precious thing.”

“Ignorance is degrading only when found in company with great riches.”
