Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes:

Ocupation: Essayist

Life: May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882

Birthday: May 25

Death: April 27

It must be that when God speaketh, he should communicate, not one thing, but all things; should fill the world with his voice; should scatter forth light, nature, time, souls, from the centre of the present thought; and new date and new create the whole.Whenever a mind is simple and receives a divine wisdom, old things pass away, - means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into the present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,-one as much as another. All things are disolved to ther center by thier cause.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson
