Be curious, not judgmental
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained
Things do not change; we change
Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean
Never love anyone who treats you like you're ordinary
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance
