Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer's profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man's home, could suggest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what you're afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Roman rule was, to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing. The old English rule was, All summer in the field, and all winter in the study. And it seems as if a man should learn to plant, or to fish, or to hunt, that he might secure his subsistence at all events, and not be painful to his friends and fellow men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The charm of fine manners is music and sculpture and picture to many who do not pretend to appreciation of these arts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We grant no dukedoms to the few, We hold like rights and shall Equal on Sunday in the pew, On Monday in the mall. For what avail the plough or sail, Or land, or life, if freedom fail?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is time to be old To take in sail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover of letters loves power too.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith
Ralph Waldo Emerson
