Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Observe how every truth and every error, each a thought of someone's mind, clothes itself with societies, houses, cities, language, ceremonies, newspapers
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever the truth is injured, defend it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cowardice shuts the eyes till the sky is not larger than a calf-skin: shuts the eyes so that we cannot see the horse that is running away with us worse, shuts the eyes of the mind and chills the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The colleges, while they provide us with libraries, furnish no professors of books and I think no chair is so much needed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you follow the suburban fashion in building a sumptuous- looking house for a little money, it will appear to all eyes as a cheap, dear house.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bonaparte knew but one merit, and rewarded in one and the same way the good soldier, the good astronomer, the good poet, the good player.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
