Ralph Waldo Emerson Forests Quotations

What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!

The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.

Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut.

The interminable forests should become graceful parks, for use and delight.

The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.

I DO not count the hours I spend In wandering by the sea; The forest is my loyal friend, Like God it useth me.

Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors.
