Ralph Waldo Emerson
To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be madeby the reception of beautiful sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The clergyman who lives in the city may have piety, but he must have taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.
