Resist much, obey little
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Don’t hate what you don’t know, for the greater part of knowledge consists what you don’t know.
Beauty when unadorned is adorned the most
Avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison
Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him
Doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
