Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism... It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of immortality, the soul, when well employed, is incurious. It is so well, that it is sure that it will be well. It asks no questions of the Supreme Power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one topic peremptorily forbidden to all well-bred, to all rational mortals, namely, their distempers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
