The
presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes,
ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we
begin to see things again in their larger, quieter
masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and
judged in the wholeness of our character.
-- George Eliot
1819-1880, British
Novelist
The
world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they
make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them
found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and
tolerable only in our belief in such society.
-- Ralph Waldo
Emerson
