Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything has its price - and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained... it is impossible to get anything without this price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's wife has more power over him than the state has.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All necessary truth is its own evidence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We take care of our health we lay up money we make our roof tight, and our clothing sufficient but who provides wisely that he shall not be wanting in the best property of all, -friends?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
