Every moment of light and dark is a miracle
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in
Don’t talk about your good health in front of sick
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him
