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.
Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live
Silence is the best cure for the malady of anger
