Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great is the art, Great be the manners, of the bard. He shall not his brain encumber With the coil of rhythm and number But, leaving rule and pale forethought, He shall aye climb For his rhyme. Pass in, pass in, the angels say
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success, the belief that if you are here the authorities of the universe put you here, and for cause, or with some task strictly appointed you in your constitution, and so long as you work at that you are well and successful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect and poets by nature, these we love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The key to every man is his thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
