A Reformer Is One Who Sets Forth

Birds And Beasts Have In Fact Our Own Nature, Flattened A Semi-tone.

That Man's Best Works Should Be Such Bungling Imitations Of Nature's Infinite Perfection, Matters Not Much; But That He Should Make Himself An Imitation, This Is The Fact Which Nature Moans Over, And Deprecates Beseechingly. Be Spontaneous, Be Truthful, Be Free, And Thus Be Individuals! Is The Song She Sings Through Warbling Birds, And Whispering Pines, And Roaring Waves, And Screeching Winds.

An Effort Made For The Happiness Of Others Lifts Above Ourselves.

Affectation Is Fond Of Making A Greater Show Than Reality. ... Nature And Truth Have Never Learned To Blow The Trumpet, And Never Will.

Philosophy And The Arts Are But A Manifestation Of The Intelligible Ideas That Move The Public Mind; And Thus They Become Visible Images Of The Nations Whence They Emanate.
