Many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My life is for itself and not for a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fashion understands itself good-breeding and personal superiority of whatever country readily fraternize with those of every other. The chiefs of savage tribes have distinguished themselves in London and Paris, by the purity of their tournure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luckily for us, now that steam has narrowed the Atlantic to a strait, the nervous, rocky West is intruding a new and continental element into the national mind, as we shall yet have an American genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

In the Fiji islands, it appears, cannibalism is now familiar. They eat thier own wives and children. We only devour widows' houses, and great merchants outwit and absorb the substance of small ones, and every man feeds on his neighbor's labor if he can. It is a milder form of cannibalism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is girt all round with a zodiac of sciences, the contributions of men who have perished to add their point of light to our sky. ... These road-makers on every hand enrich us. We must extend the area of life and multiply our relations. We are as much gainers by finding a property in the old earth as by acquiring a new planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who would be a man must therefore be a non-conformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Englishman who has lost his fortune is said to have died of a broken heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The doctrine of Necessity or Destiny is the doctrine of Toleration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The merit claimed for the Anglican Church is that, if you let it alone, it will let you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
