They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible.

—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
