The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.
Ralph Waldo EmersonAccept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThere is a kind of latent omniscience, not only in every man, but in every particle.
Ralph Waldo EmersonLet the amelioration in our laws of property proceed from the concession of the rich, not from the grasping of the poor. Let us understand that the equitable rule is, that no one should take more than his share, let him be ever so rich.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
