Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of action is the sentiment from which it proceeds. The greatest action may easily be one of the most private circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the plants, the waters, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments - is the rich and royal man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Far or forgot to me is near Shadow and sunlight are the same The vanished gods to me appear And one to me are shame and fame.They reckon ill who leave me out When me they fly, I am the wings I am the doubter and the doubt, And I the hymn the Brahmin sings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent may frolic and juggle genius realizes and adds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The charm of fine manners is music and sculpture and picture to many who do not pretend to appreciation of these arts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
