About This Quote

When Ralph Waldo Emerson was asked to explain the source of his power, he answered, “The power of a thousand engines? I tell you, there is more power in a single blade of grass.” This quote is an extension of Emerson’s earlier declaration that “the wisest thing we can do with our time is to spend it for our friends.”
