More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.

Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are timid and apologetic they are no longer upright they dare not say I think, I am, but quote some saint or sage. They are ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose. These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones they are for what they are they exist with God to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
