Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go put your creed into your deed, Nor speak with double tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred. I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.
