Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes:

Ocupation: Essayist

Life: May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882

Birthday: May 25

Death: April 27

We live in a new and exceptional age. America is another word for Opportunity. Our whole history appears like a last effort of the Divine Providence in behalf of the human race; and a literal, slavish following of precedents, as by a justice of the peace, is not for those who at this hour lead the AMERICAN CIVILIZATION.
