Ralph Waldo Emerson

All mankind love a lover…

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science…

The best effort of a fine person is felt after we have left their presence…

No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character…

Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood…

Nature hates calculators…

We acquire the strength we have overcome…

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what…

Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing…

Power and speed be hands and feet…

The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious…

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world…

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect…

Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time…

Common sense is genius dressed in its working clothes…
