"If we walk in the woods, we..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.”

“The less government we have the better.”

“There is no way to success in art but to take off your coat, grind paint, and work like a digger on the railroad, all day and every day.”

“Winter's not gone yet, if the wild geese fly that way.”

“The gardener's work is never at at end; it begins with the year, and continues to the next: he prepares the ground, and then he sows it; after that he plants, and then he gathers the fruits.”

“Ask a toad what is beauty....; he will answer that it is a female with two great round eyes coming out of her little head, a large flat head, a yellow belly and a brown back.”

“Falsehoods border on truths.”

“Most men are scantily nourished on a modicum of happiness and a number of empty thoughts which life lays on their plates. They are kept in the road of life through stern necessity by elemental duties which they cannot avoid.”

“Whatever had form or shape must be limited, and could not be eternal.”
