Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

"We grant no dukedoms to the few,
We hold like rights and shall;
Equal on Sunday in the pew,
On Monday in the mall.
For what avail the plough or sail,
Or land, or life, if freedom fail?"

by:	Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, and poet

Unfortunantly we have granted "dukedoms" to the few, they reside in the Oval office and the Congress.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx
