Ralph Waldo Emerson Forests Quotations

The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.

What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!

Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.

I DO not count the hours I spend In wandering by the sea; The forest is my loyal friend, Like God it useth me.

The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.

The interminable forests should become graceful parks, for use and delight.

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut.
