Emerson Console

Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or console:

“And, shrilling from the solar course,
Or from fruit of chemic force,
Procession of a soul in matter,
Or the speeding change of water,
Or out of the good of evil born,
Came Uriel’s voice of cherub scorn,
And a blush tinged the upper sky,
And the gods shook, they knew not why.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Old people love to give good advice to console themselves for no longer being able to set a bad example.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
