The merit claimed for the Anglican Church is that, if you let it alone, it will let you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tablets yet unbroken: The word by seers or sibyls told, In groves of oak or fanes of gold, Still floats upon the morning wind, Still whispers to the willing mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep is not, death is not Who seem to die Live. House you were born in, Friends of your spring-time, old man and young maid, Day's toil and it's guerdon, They are all vanishing, Fleeing to fables, Cannot be moored
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great is the art, Great be the manners, of the bard. He shall not his brain encumber With the coil of rhythm and number But, leaving rule and pale forethought, He shall aye climb For his rhyme. Pass in, pass in, the angels say
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is unnecessarily long. Moments of insight, of fine personal relation, a smile, a glance,--what ample borrowers of eternity they are!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and gods use short and positive speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A nation never falls but by suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man (or woman) who can make hard things easy is the educator.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
