More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The secret of poetry is never explained - is always new. We have not got farther than mere wonder at the delicacy of the touch, & the eternity it inherits. In every house a child that in mere play utters oracles, & knows not that they are such. 'Tis as easy as breath. 'Tis like this gravity, which holds the Universe together, & none knows what it is."
"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better."
"To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom."
"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."
"Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart."
