Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Invention breeds invention.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not yet trust the unknown power of thoughts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of good sense but of little faith, whose compassion seemed to lead him to church as often as he went there, said to me 'that he liked to have concerts, and fairs, and churches, and other public amusements go on.
