The ancestor of every action is a thought… Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
Quotations
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
One man’s justice is another’s injustice; one man’s beauty, another’s ugliness; one man’s wisdom, another’s folly.
The eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly and desperately drunk with a certain belief.
