Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. All are needed by each one Nothing is fair or good alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every reform was once a private opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Divine persons are character born, or, to borrow a phrase from Napoleon, they are victory organized.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall we then judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely. 'Tis pedantry to estimate nations by the census, or by square miles of land, or other than by their importance to the mind of the time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The inmost in due time becomes the outmost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
