Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances.

  • The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.

  • Great men or men of great gifts you shall easily find, but symmetrical men never.

  • In every society some men are born to rule, and some to advise.

  • Men are what their mothers made them.
