More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in the universe goes by indirection. There are no straight lines.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Englishman who has lost his fortune is said to have died of a broken heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People wish to be settled only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
