Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

The soul is subject to dollars.

I am only an experimenter. Do not set the least value on what I do, or the least discredit on what I do not, as if I pretended to settle any thing as true or false. I unsettle all things. No facts are to me sacred; none are profane; I simply experiment, an endless seeker.

Why should we make account of time, or of magnitude, or of figure? The soul knows how to play with them as a young child plays with graybeards and in churches.

He has seen but half the universe who never has been shown the house of Pain. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
