Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book of nature is the book of fate. She turns the gigantic pages, leaf after leaf never returning one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My good hoe as it bites the ground revenges my wrongs, and I have less lust to bite my enemies. In the smoothing the rough hillocks, I smooth my temper.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must consider what a blindman's-buff is this game of conformity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Oversoul is before Time, and Time, Father of all else, is one of his children.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is a game of circles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vulgar call good fortune that which really is produced by the calculations of genius.
