Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Attitude Quotes, Military Quotes

He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.

We come to our own and would make friends with matter, which the ambitious chatter of the schools would persuade us to despise.
