Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds...A nation of men will for the first time exist, because each believes himself inspired by the Divine Soul which also inspires all men.

We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hand
