Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot overstate our debt to the Past, but the moment has the supreme claim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
