"Every opinion reacts on him who utters..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Great country, diminutive minds. America is formless, has no terrible and no beautiful condensation.”

“The years in your lifeare less importantthan the life in your years.”

“The enthusiast always finds the master, the masters, whom he seeks. Always genius seeks genius, desires nothing so much as to be a pupil and to find those who can lend it aid to perfect itself.”

“It would be an egregious mistake to ever refer to me in the same breath as most of the people I write about.”

“No wise man has called a change of opinion in constancy.”

“Don't be too concerned about what others think of you. It's what you think about yourself that matters!”

“The verdict of the world is conclusive.”

“Do your duty as you see it, and damn the consequences.”

“Unnatural deeds Do breed unnatural troubles: infected minds To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.”
