Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.

  • Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.

  • The revelation of thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.

  • Good men must not obey the laws too well.

  • The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.
