Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Headwinds are sore vexations and the more passengers the sorer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
