Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Very idle is all curiosity concerning other people's estimate of us, and all fear of remaining unknown is not less so.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason of idleness and of crime is the deferring of our hopes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though I am weak, yet God, when prayed, Cannot withhold his conquering aid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever we think and say is wonderfully better for our spirits and trust in another mouth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
