Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Columbus discovered no isle or key so lonely as himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
