The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rude poets of the tavern hearth, squandering your unquoted mirth, which keeps the ground, and never soars, while jake retorts, and reuben roars tough and screaming, as birch-bark, goes like bullet to its mark while the solid curse and jeer never balk the waiting ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is sublime to think and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him: we need not reinforce ourselves, or send tokens of remembrance I rely on him as on myself: if he did thus and thus, I know it was right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic also.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No institution will be better than the institutor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What you do thunders above your head so loudly, I cannot hear the words you speak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is when you learn something new every day. Wisdom is when you let something go every day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When science is learned in love, and its powers are wielded by love, they will appear the supplements and continuations of the material creation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
