Ralph Waldo Emerson
A divine person is the prophecy of the mind a friend is the hope of the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The truth, the hope of any time, must always be sought in minorities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue. . . .
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should give us a sense of mass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
