Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is known by the books he reads, by the company he keeps, by the praise he gives, by his dress, by his tastes, by his distastes, by the stories he tells, by his gait, by the notion of his eye, by the look of his house, of his chamber for nothing on earth is solitary but every thing hath affinities infinite.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest end of government is the culture of men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Line in Nature is not found Unit and Universe are round.
