Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Miracle comes to the miraculous, not to the arithmetician.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best nations are those most widely related and navigation, as effecting a world-wide mixture, is the most potent advancer ofnations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The worst of charity is that the lives you are asked to preserve are not worth preserving.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philanthropic and religious bodies do not commonly make their executive officers out of saints.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can be no high civility without a deep morality, though it may not always call itself by that name.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
