Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not speak with any fondness but the language of coolest history, when I say that Boston commands attention as the town whichwas appointed in the destiny of nations to lead the civilization of North America.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God screens us evermore from premature ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The student is to read history actively and not passively to esteem his own life the text, and books the commentary. Thus compelled, the muse of history will utter oracles as never to those who do not respect themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
