Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is girt all round with a zodiac of sciences, the contributions of men who have perished to add their point of light to our sky. ... These road-makers on every hand enrich us. We must extend the area of life and multiply our relations. We are as much gainers by finding a property in the old earth as by acquiring a new planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
For he that feeds men serveth few He serves all who dares be true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
