Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mistis absorbed into the heat of the Sun--but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We change whether we like it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no expectation that any man will read history aright who thinks that what was done in a remote age, by men whose names have resounded far, has any deeper sense than what he is doing today.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
