Resist much, obey little
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think
Explanation is where the mind rests
Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats
Hell is empty and all the devils are here
A capacity, and taste, for reading gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others
