Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution.

It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places.
