Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work , but the solidest thing we know.

Go put your creed into your deed, Nor speak with double tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars merchants have let them give them. Farmers will give corn poets will sing women will sew laborers will lend a hand the children will bring flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts but as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
