Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not be too timid and squeamish about your action. All life is an experiment.

Every sweet has its sour, every evil irs good.

The only reward of virtue is virtue.

Men love to wonder; that is the seed of our science.

Talent alone cannot make a write. There must be a man behind the book.

The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is because man is disunited with himself.

Life is our Dictionary.

The years teach much which the days never know.

Thought makes everything fit for use.

Life is a series of surprises.

Men caease to interest us when we find their limitations.

Hitch you wagon to a star.

No sensible person ever made an apology.

If you would life me, you must be on higher ground.

Fear always springs from ignorance.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

The first wealth is health.

Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.

All mankind love a lover.

If a man owns land, the land owns him.

The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so, but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes, and silly people.
