Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a crack in everything God has made
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep is not, death is not Who seem to die Live. House you were born in, Friends of your spring-time, old man and young maid, Day's toil and it's guerdon, They are all vanishing, Fleeing to fables, Cannot be moored
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My joy in friends, those sacred people, is my consolation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friends should be like books, easy to find when you need them, but seldom used.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is always childish, and with each new gewgaw of a revolution or new constitution that it finds, thinks it shall never cry any more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
