Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The education of the will is the object of our existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you follow the suburban fashion in building a sumptuous- looking house for a little money, it will appear to all eyes as a cheap, dear house.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear what you say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God you shall not have both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
