Matching Quote
"Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to
energize
. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
