We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consistency is the bugbear that frightens little minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is saturated with Deity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of health is fine disposition
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science, Nature,-O, I've yearned to open some page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
