Ralph Waldo Emerson
The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant's economy is a coarse symbol of the soul's economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Freedom is not the right to live as we please, but the right to find how we ought to live in order to fulfill our potential.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Government has been a fossil: it should be a plant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is very unhappy, but too late to be helped, the discovery we have made, that we exist
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in debt is so far a slave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An individual is an encloser. Time and space, liberty and necessity, truth and thought, are left at large no longer.
