More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the 'Not Me,' that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, 'Nature.'"
"The reward of a thing well done is having done it."
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better."
"The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs."
"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air."
