Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is creative reading as well as creative writing.

America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.

Science does not know its debt to imagination.

As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey.

The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.

A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.
