Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Education Quotes, Lying Quotes

I learn immediately from any speaker how much he has already lived, through the poverty or the splendor of his speech. Life lies behind us as the quarry from whence we get tiles and copestones for the masonry of today. This is the way to learn grammar.
