Ralph Waldo Emerson
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eloquence of one stimulates all the rest, some up to the speaking-point, and all others to a degree that makes them good receivers and conductors, and they avenge themselves for their enforced silence by increased loquacity on their return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
