Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, War Quotes, Mean Quotes

Coal is a portable climate. It carries the heat of the tropics to Labrador and the polar circle; and it is the means of transporting itself whithersoever it is wanted.

Everything is good which takes away one plaything and delusion more, and drives us home to add one stroke of faithful work.
