No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter (Transcendentalist, Unitarian, author)
Reverence the highest, have patience with the lowest. Let this day’s performance of the meanest duty be thy religion. Are the stars too distant, pick up the pebble that lies at thy feet, and from it learn the all.
Margaret Fuller Ossoli (Transcendentalist, Unitarian, author, editor, reformer)
Dreaming is an act of pure imagination, attesting in all men a creative power, which it were available in waking, would make every man a Dante or Shakespeare.
Frederick Henry Hedge (Unitarian, Transcendentalist, minister, institutionalist)
