You become what you think about all day long. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find."

"Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed."

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

"The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common."

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship."
