Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book of nature is the book of fate. She turns the gigantic pages, leaf after leaf never returning one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The connection between our knowledge and the abyss of being is still real, and the explication must be not less magnificent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We prize books, and they prize them most who are themselves wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
