Famous quotes containing the word emerson:

    Manners aim to facilitate life, to get rid of impediments, and bring the man pure to energize. They aid our dealing and conversation, as a railway aids travelling, by getting rid of all avoidable obstructions of the road, and leaving nothing to be conquered but pure space.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
