Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is young: the former great men call to us affectionately. We too must write Bibles, to unite again the heavens and the earthly world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism, ever more timorous and narrow, disgusts the children, and drives them for a mouthful of fresh air into radicalism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meek young men grow up in libraries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A philosopher must be more than a philosopher.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not an arbitrary decree of God, but in the nature of man, that a veil shuts down on the facts of to-morrow for the soul will not have us read any other cipher than that of cause and effect. By this veil, which curtains events, it instructs the children of men to live in to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health and appetite impart the sweetness to sugar, bread and meat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henceforth, please God, forever I forego the yolk of men's opinions. I will be light-hearted as a bird and live with God. I find him in the bottom of my heart, and I hear continually his voice therein.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let every man shovel out his own snow and the whole city will be passable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
