More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I behold a rich landscape, it is less to my purpose to recite correctly the order and superposition of the strata, than to know why all thought of multitude is lost in a tranquil sense of unity.

Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history isto be read and written.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.
