Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • God screens us evermore from premature ideas.

  • There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

  • Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.

  • A good indignation brings out all one's powers.

  • This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
