Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes:
Ocupation: Essayist
Life: May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882
Birthday: May 25
Death: April 27
If you would serve your brother it is fit for you to serve him, do not take back your words when you find that prudent people do not commend you. Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a decorous age.
