Ralph Waldo Emerson

This book is a collection of 223 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Ralph Waldo Emerson: "My life is not an apology, but a life. It is for itself and not for a spectacle. I much prefer that it should be of a lower strain, so it be genuine and equal, than that it should be glittering and unsteady." "Every wall is a door." "Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself." "Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams." "Always do what you are afraid to do." "It is not the length of life, but the depth." "A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic."
