Ralph Waldo Emerson


  • And we are now men…

    And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.

    — Ralph Waldo Emerson
    "Self-Reliance"
