Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
But harder still it has proved to resist and rule the dragon Money, with his paper wings.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
By virtue of the Deity thought renews itself inexhaustibly every day and the thing whereon it shines, though it were dust and sand, is a new subject with countless relations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware of too much good staying in your hand. It will fast corrupt and worm worms. Pay it away quickly in some sort.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universal does not attract us until housed in an individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One man pins me to the wall, while with another I walk among the stars
