American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas
When a persons authority is great, his effort and his caution must also be great.
Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others
The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power
Live your life as an Exclamation rather than an Explanation
Never bend your head. Hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye
