Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every landscape, the point of astonishment is the meeting of the sky and the earth, and that is seen from the first hillock aswell as from the top of the Alleghanies. The stars at night stoop down over the brownest, homeliest common, with all the spiritual magnificence which they shed on the Campagna, or on the marble deserts of Egypt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is never too late to do right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
