The greater the reform needed, the greater the personality you need to accomplish it
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
The unexamined life is not worth living
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe
Lovely days don't come to you, You should walk to them
Appear as you may wish to be
