Ralph Waldo Emerson
The philosophy of waiting is sustained by all the oracles of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

To be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false,--this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last,--a long way leading nowhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our own spontaneous expression with good humored inflexibility whether the whole cry of voices is on the other side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A scholar is a man with his inconvenience, that, when you ask him his opinion of any matter, he must go home and look up his manuscripts to know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gentleman is a man of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
