Resist much, obey little
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Don’t talk about your good health in front of sick
It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising
Those who tell the stories rule society
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean
I make it a rule never to smoke while I’m sleeping
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
