About Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Travelling is a fool's paradise.
Insist on yourself; never imitate.
The only reward of virtue, is virtue: the only way to have a friend, is to be one.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
