Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I behold a rich landscape, it is less to my purpose to recite correctly the order and superposition of the strata, than to know why all thought of multitude is lost in a tranquil sense of unity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A child convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The reward for a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hospitality consists in a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would study, I would know, I would admire forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The clergyman who lives in the city may have piety, but he must have taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is about your outlook towards life. You can either regret or rejoice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not to dwell on dreams and forget to live, but it is equally foolish to ignore the past – never forget.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware of jokes from which we go away hollow and ashamed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Silence is a solvent that destroys personality, and gives us leave to be great and universal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
