"If there is any period one would desire……" — Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?"

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
