Ralph Waldo Emerson
The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How beautiful to have the church always open, so that every tired wayfaring man may come in and be soothed by all that art can suggest of a better world when he is weary with this.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Colleges, in like manner, have their indispensable office,--to teach elements. But they can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should we be cowed by the name of Action?.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
