Ralph Waldo Emerson
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The most Indian thing about the Indian is surely not his moccasins or his calumet, his wampum or his stone hatched, but traits of character and sagacity, skill, or passion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I didn't find my friends the good Lord gave them to me.
