We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philanthropies and charities have a certain air of quackery.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be yourself no base imitator of another, but your best self.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emancipation is the demand of civilization. That is a principle everything else is an intrigue.

The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
