Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take egotism out and you would castrate the benefactors.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
To clothe the fiery thought In simple words succeeds, For still the craft of genius is To mask a king in weeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other world? There is no other world here or nowhere is the whole fact.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Teach the children! It is painting in fresco.
