Ralph Waldo Emerson
-
Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
-
Men admire the man who can organize their wishes and thoughts in stone and wood and steel and brass.
-
The revelation of thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.
-
Good men must not obey the laws too well.
-
The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.
