Icon A timely warning from Ralph Waldo Emerson

Reading Emerson's diary:  January 20, 1832, Boston:

Don't trust children with edge tools. Don't trust man, great God, with more power than he has, until he has learned to use that a little better.  What a hell should we make of the world if we could do what we would. Put a button on the foil till the young fencers have learned not to put each other's eyes out.

 

Read "Put a button on the foil" as U.S Constitution.

To stop making a hell of the world as Impeachment and removal from office.
