More Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.
The Artist always has the masters in his eyes.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
