I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it
Compared to the pleasure given by granting pardon, the pleasure given by exacting revenge is very faint indeed.
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done
Silence is the best cure for the malady of anger
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star
Great men are always of a nature originally melancholy.
