#Meme – Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behaviour, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us. ‘Tis good to give a stranger a meal, or a night’s lodging. ‘Tis better to be hospitable to his good meaning and thought, and give courage to a companion. We must be as courteous to a man as we are to picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
