Ralph Waldo Emerson
The
true man walks the earth as the stars walk the heavens, grandly obedient to
those laws which are implanted in his nature.

nature a repulsive caterpillar turns into a lovely butterfly. But with
humans it is the other way around: a lovely butterfly turns into a
repulsive caterpillar.

on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and
abiding love.

his back is up against it.

in the wrong place.

Robert Brault
My
dog is usually pleased with what I do, because she is not infected with the
concept of what I "should" be doing.
Lonzo Idolswine
God
is less careful than General Motors, for He floods the world with factory
rejects.
Mignon McLaughlin
When
freedom from want and freedom from fear are achieved, man's remains will be in
rigor mortis.
