Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always... - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"His heart was as great as the world, but there was no room in it to hold the memory of a wrong"

"Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much."

"Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart."

"None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone."

"Love, and you shall be loved."
