5 quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson · clear filters

Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care.

Work rather for those interests which the divinities honor and promote,--justice, love, freedom, knowledge, utility.

Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
