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.
Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm
The unprepared mind cannot see the outstretched hand of opportunity
I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness
If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
