    A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I hate the prostitution of the name of friendship to signify modish and worldly alliances. I much prefer the company of ploughboys and tin-peddlers, to the silken and perfumed amity which celebrates its days of encounter by a frivolous display, by rides in a curricle, and dinners at the best taverns.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
