Life is too short to waste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dogma of the mystic offices of Christ being dropped, and he standing on his genius as a moral teacher, 'tis impossible to maintain the old emphasis of his personality and it recedes, as all persons must, before the sublimity of the moral laws.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant. Now we reckon them as bank-days, by some debt which is to be paid us, or which we are to pay, or some pleasure we are to taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in debt is so far a slave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
