Emerson Revisited

“A friend is one before whom I may think aloud.”

“All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”  
“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
“Colleges hate geniuses, just as convents hate saints.”
“Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.”
“Every sweet has its sour; every evil its good.”
     (and the important one)
“I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.”
