Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.

And when his hours are numbered, and the world Is all his own, retiring, as he were not, Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone Built in an age, the mad wind's night-work, The frolic architecture of the snow.
