Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power is the first good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is so perfect, the engineer is nobody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You must let go of a thing for a new one to come to you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of a master is his success in bringing all men around to his opinion twenty years later.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
