Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prudence is the virtue of the senses. It is the science of appearances. It is the outmost action of the inward life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
First be a good animal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A child convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The reward for a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The virtue you would like to have, assume it is already yours, appropriate it, enter into the part and live the character just as the great actor is absorbed in... the part he plays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
