Ralph Waldo Emerson

The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.

Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.

What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
