Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Evil is ignorance.

Language is the archives of history ... Language is fossil poetry.

Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone; yet he is no more to be credited with the grand result than the acaleph which adds a cell to the coral reef which is the basis of the continent.
