Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose language is strong and defying enough, yet their eyes and their actions ask leave of other men to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no man of Nature's worth In the circle of the earth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the property of him who can entertain it, and of him who can adequately place it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Nature, all is useful, all is beautiful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of our statesmen said, The curse of this country is eloquent men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of immortality, the soul, when well employed, is incurious. It is so well, that it is sure that it will be well. It asks no questions of the Supreme Power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
