Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, 'Thou must,' The youth whispers, 'I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A philosopher must be more than a philosopher.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship is an order of nobility from its revelations we come more worthily into nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You think me the child of circumstance I make my circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man stands on God. A small man on a great man.
