Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Hate Quotes, Writing Quotes

All life is an experiment. Place yourself in the middle of the stream of power and wisdom which animates all whom it floats, and you are without effort impelled to truth, to right and a perfect contentment.

I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.
