Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So in writing, there is always a right word, and every other than that is wrong. There is no beauty in words except in their collocation. The effect of a fanciful word misplaced, is like that of a horn of exquisite polish growing on a human head.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God has delegated himself to a million deputies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A forte always makes a foible.
