Waldo

Famous quotes containing the word waldo:

    The philanthropists inquire whether Transcendentalism does not mean sloth: they had as lief hear that their friend is dead, as that he is a Transcendentalist; for then is he paralyzed, and can never do anything for humanity.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Earth’s a howling wilderness,
    Truculent with fraud and force.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When the fierce north-western blast
    Cools sea and land so far and fast,
    Thou already slumberest deep;
    Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
    Want and woe, which torture us,
    Thy sleep makes ridiculous.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
