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.

Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?

Women ought to be fully guarded by law in all rights of property, labor, profession, etc.; but, roughly stated, the voting population ought to represent the fighting population.
