Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold it's great proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finished man of the world must eat of every apple once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Justice satisfies everybody, and justice alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wild liberty develops iron conscience. Want of liberty, by strengthening law and decorum, stupefies conscience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is young: the former great men call to us affectionately. We too must write Bibles, to unite again the heavens and the earthly world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of drunkenness is, that it insulates us in thought, whilst it unites us in feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great licentiousness treads on the heels of a reformation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
