Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good judge is not he who does hair-splitting justice to every allegation, but who, aiming at substantial justice, rules something intelligible of the guidance of suitors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it comes to divide an estate, the politest men quarrel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We might as easily reprove the east wind, or the frost, as a political party, whose members, for the most part, could give no account of their position, but stand for the defence of those interests in which they find themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
