Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Believe Quotes, Equality Quotes

He loves virtue, not for its obligation, but for its grace; he delights in the world, in man, in woman, for the lovely light that sparkles from them. Beauty, the spirit of joy and hilarity, he sheds over the universe.

We look to that with a grim satisfaction, saying, there at least is reality that will not dodge us.
