Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Opportunity Quotes, Doors Quotes

Wealth brings with it its own checks and balances. The basis of political economy is noninterference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply.

In a free and just commonwealth, property rushes from the idle and imbecile to the industrious, brave and persevering.

It does not matter what you call the gaoler so long as he has the key that will open the door of your prison! Similarly, as I have the key to release Life from its prison, it does not matter in the least what you call either the key or myself. I am not concerned about the title.
