Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We change whether we like it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The uses of travel are occasional, and short but the best fruit it finds, when it finds it, is conversation and this is a main function of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
