More Quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned ourdisapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is very unhappy, but too late to be helped, the discovery we have made, that we exist

Ralph Waldo Emerson
