Lo! the south answers to the north;
Bookworm, break this sloth urbane;
A greater spirit bids thee forth

great works are timeless. sometimes the right book finds you at the right time and makes everything ok.
Though he would refute imitation, Emerson often sounds Socratic in his writing about philosophy, though that comparison only stands in tone not content. What you have here is a collection of “translations” of what you already know down inside about your own potential for originality, but adding to t
Emerson was an early love of mine. I read Emerson every day for at least a half dozen years. Only problem with transcendentalism is that when you annex nature to the soul, it doesn’t necessarily lead to environmentalism. It can lead to a monstrous self that swallows up and subsumes all of nature, “t
Okay first of all, the template of the pages of this book is just absolutely divine! It makes the pages look like scrolls of long ago. I wish I could show you pictures!

I had read Emerson’s works once before and I hated it at first reaction always. Well, I decided to read it thoroughly and try to understand it. I was utterly amazed. He had such profound and wonderful things to say. I honestly was deeply touched. I decided to write down every
In school I just learned about Ralph Waldo Emerson the poet. They never taught about him as a thinker and philosopher. This book was amazing. The man was an absolute genius. I highly recommend reading this to gain a wider vision of life.
