Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health, south wind, books, old trees, a boat, a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I didn't find my friends the good Lord gave them to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
