You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The poet knows that he speaks adequately, then, only when he speaks somewhat wildly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.
