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.

Nothing so completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity himself, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.

Fox News is hated because they're elitists, and the worst winners television's ever seen.

An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.
