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.

The love of a dog is a pure thing. He gives you a trust which is total. You must not betray it.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
