Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
In conversation the game is, to say something new with old words. And you shall observe a man of the people picking his way along, step by step, using every time an old boulder, yet never setting his foot on an old place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the spirit is not master of the world, then it is its dupe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
