Additional quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought and knowledge are natures in which apparatus and pretension avail nothing. Gowns, and pecuniary foundations, though of towns of gold, can never countervail the least sentence or syllable of wit.

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it.
A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word just as good.
