One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.”
