Ralph Waldo Emerson
But there is no end to the praise of books, to the value of the library. Who shall estimate their influence on our population where all the millions read and write ? It is the joy of nations that man can communicate all his thoughts, discoveries and virtues to records that may last for centuries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speak your latent conviction. . . Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the imagination? Only an arm or weapon of the interior energy only the precursor of the reason.

The course of everything goes to teach us faith.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
