“Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind.
They are the kings of the world who give the color of their present thought to all nature and all art,
and persuade men by the cheerful serenity of their carrying the matter, that this thing which they do is the apple which the ages have desire to pluck,now at last ripe, and inviting nations to the harvest.
The great man makes the great thing.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
