Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on midnoon,
and under every deep a lower deep opens.

Out from the heart of Nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old.
