Ralph Waldo Emerson
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science in England, in America, is jealous of theory, hates the name of love and moral purpose. There's revenge for this humanity.What manner of man does science make? The boy is not attracted. He says, I do not wish to be such a kind of man as my professor is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cities drain the country of the best part of its population: the flower of the youth, of both sexes, goes into the towns, andthe country is cultivated by a so much inferior class. The land,--travel a whole day together,--looks poverty-stricken, and the buildings plain and poor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage (in what is called the spiritual world) is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Greek epigram intimates that the force of love is not shown by the courting of beauty, but where the like desire is inflamed for one who is ill-favored.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luckily for us, now that steam has narrowed the Atlantic to a strait, the nervous, rocky West is intruding a new and continental element into the national mind, as we shall yet have an American genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good as is discourse, silence is better and shames it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
