Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any work looks wonderful to me except the one which I can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The colleges, while they provide us with libraries, furnish no professors of books and I think no chair is so much needed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius always finds itself a century too early.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
