Ralph Waldo Emerson
The language of the street is always strong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man's eye is on the Eternal, his intellect will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vulgar call good fortune that which really is produced by the calculations of genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we meet no gods, it is because we harbor none. If there is grandeur in you, you will find grandeur in porters and sweeps.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
