Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not in his goals but in his transitions, man is great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every individual strives to grow and exclude, to the extremities of the universe, and to impose the law of its being on every other creature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
