Life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Housekeeping is not beautiful it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child neither the host nor the guestit oppresses women.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humility is the secret of the wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,--a certain robust and radiant physical health or--shall I say?--great volumes of animal heat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mistis absorbed into the heat of the Sun--but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
