Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is so perfect, the engineer is nobody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In youth, we clothe ourselves with rainbows, with hope & love, & go as brave as the zodiack. In age we put out another sort of perspiration gout, fever, rheumatism, caprice, doubt, fretting, and avarice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a man thinketh, so is he, and as a man chooseth, so is he.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
