Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He needs no library, for he has not done thinking no church, for he is himself a prophet no statute book, for he hath the Lawgiver no money, for he is value itself no road, for he is at home where he is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you cannot be free be as free as you can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adult males are what their moms designed them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant's economy is a coarse symbol of the soul's economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover of letters loves power too.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
