Which American author penned these gems? Extra credit if you know where they came from as well...
 
"The reason the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is because man is disunited with himself."
 
"Is not prayer also a study of truth - a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite?"
 
"Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous."
 
"A man is fed, not that he may be fed, but that he may work."
 
Of course, I'll be adhering strictly to the "Whose Line is it Anway?" scoring rules.
