Ralph Waldo Emerson
- A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of
little minds.
- We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of
that divine idea which each of us represents.
- To fill the hour, - that is happiness; to fill the hour, and leave no
crevice for a repentance or an approval.
- The religions we call false were once true.
- Trust [people] and they will be true to you; treat them
greatly and they will show themselves great
- A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a
conformist.
- Religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
- God enters by a private door into every individual.
