—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We are made happy when reason can discover no occasion for it. The memory of some past moments is more persuasive than the experience of present ones. There have been visions of such breadth and brightness that these motes were invisible in their light.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society.”
