“We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture,…” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood.”

“We aim above the mark to hit the mark.”

“Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.”

“To be great is to be misunderstood.”

“Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.”

“We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.”
