Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day is a miniature eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic also.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A scholar is a man with his inconvenience, that, when you ask him his opinion of any matter, he must go home and look up his manuscripts to know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No orator can top the one who can give good nicknames.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is ever a slight suspicion of the burlesque about earnest good men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
