    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it? Mor come to the conviction that what seems the succession of thought is only the distribution of wholes into causal series.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “At cheaper and nearer seats of Learning parents with slender incomes may place their sons in a course of education putting them on a level with the sons of the Richest.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “An Austrian army, awfully array’d,
    Boldly by battery besiege Belgrade;
    Cossack commanders cannonading come,
    Deal devastation’s dire destructive doom;”
    —Alaric Alexander Watts (1797–1864)
