Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whom God has put asunder, why should man put together?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
