Ralph Waldo Emerson
Get Health. No labor, effort nor exercise that can gain it must be grudged.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up, namely, in education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The tempered light of the woods is like a perpetual morning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first muse, and sleep as the condition of health. Sleep benefits mainly by the sound health it produces incidentally also by dreams, into whose farrago a divine lesson is sometimes slipped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Immitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it men love in Genius, but its infinite hope, which degrades all it has done? Genius counts all its miracles poor and short. Its own idea it never executed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
