Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In analysing history do not be too profound, for often the causes are quite superficial.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human society is made up of partialities. Each citizen has an interest and a view of his own, which, if followed out to the extreme, would leave no room for any other citizen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By God, I will not obey this filthy enactment!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
