Cross off the words in the list below according to the instructions given. Rearrange the remaining words to form a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The quote should be posted as the last answer.

**One answer per solver, please, for the first 24 hours.**

Word list:

ALONE, BLOSSOM, BUOYANT, CAMEO, CARAVAN, CAULIFLOWER, CRABCAKE, CRESCENT, ELBOW, EVERY, FAVORITE, FURLOUGH, GRUESOME, GUARDHOUSE, HOMEOWNING, ICEBOX, INTERSECT, IS, MAN, NOMINATES, SINCERE, SPONGE, SPOTLIGHT, UNDERWAY, WIZARD

-1. an anagram of a 5-letter word appearing in the instructions above
-2. consists of six letters in reverse alphabetical order
-3. is Pig Latin for a word meaning "marvel"
-4. spells a synonym of itself if its doubled letter is deleted
-5. consists entirely of capital letters that have a horizontal line of symmetry
-6. contains all five vowels exactly once
-7. spells a new word when all of its C's are removed
-8. is an anagram of a U.S. state
-9. would spell itself backward if its letters were alphabetically reflected (A to Z, B to Y, etc.)
-10. would become a new compound word if you interchanged its second and fourth letters
-11. consists of a noise an animal makes inside a word meaning "sharpening"
-12. alternates between even and odd letters of the alphabet, starting with an even one
-13. could represent the word CRYPTOGRAM in a cryptogram
-14. completes this sentence in a punny way: "The cornstalks ___ 10 inches after the heavy rainfall"
-15. would become a new verb if J were substituted for one of its letters
-16. would leave two types of motor vehicles if you deleted its middle letter
-17. contains, consecutively, three consecutive letter of the alphabet in proper alphabetical order
-18. changes from three syllables to one if its last letter is deleted
-19. sounds like a type of shoe when its two syllables are switched
-20. spells an object it describes if you read only the odd letters of the original word

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
