Every word was once a poem. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up"

"We are wiser than we know."

"Some books leave us free and some books make us free."

"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits. In every house a child that in mere play utters oracles, & knows not that they are such. 'Tis as easy as breath. 'Tis like this gravity, which holds the Universe together, & none knows what it is."

"It is not the length of life, but the depth."
