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)

“I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.”
