Famous quotes containing the word waldo:

    Be a little careful of your Library. Do you foresee what you will do with it? Very little to be sure. But the real question is, What it will do with you? You will come here & get books that will open your eyes, & your ears, & your curiosity, & turn you inside out or outside in.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
