Time Emerson

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or emerson:

“A proper autobiography is a death-bed confession. A true man finds so much work to do that he has no time to contemplate his yesterdays; for to-day and to-morrow are here, with their impatient tasks. The world is so busy, too, that it cannot afford to study any man’s unfinished work; for the end may prove it a failure, and the world needs masterpieces.”
—Mary Antin (1881–1949)

“For his lips could well pronounce
Words that were persuasions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
