More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is wasted in the necessary preparation of finding what is the true way, and we die just as we enter it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Columbus discovered no isle or key so lonely as himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
