Ralph Waldo Emerson
A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson
