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 rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart
Backbiting is the attempt of one who is incapable of doing better himself
Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared
Begin now to be what you will be hereafter
