Ralph Waldo Emerson
Walking has the best value as gymnastics of the mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our admiration of the antique is not admiration of the old, but of the natural.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though your views are in straight antagonism to theirs, assume an identity of sentiment, assume that you are saying precisely thatwhich all think, and in the flow of wit and love roll out your paradoxes in solid column, with not the infirmity of a doubt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul refuses limits and always affirms an optimism, never a pessimism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
