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.
The human being is not in control of his feelings, but he is in control of his movements
Our enemies are our greatest moral teachers, because they thrust our faults in our faces
The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them
Cowardice is the one thing that cannot be repaired by any means.
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit
There is no sickness worse for me that words that to be kind must lie.
