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.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world
He who boasts lowers himself
You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him
Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it and I'll move the world
I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place
