“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can…” — 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.”

“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.”
