Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days come and go but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are thevictims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sermon which I write inquisitive of truth is good a year after, but that which is written because a sermon must be writ is musty the next day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
