Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends; in yourself slumbers the whole of Reason; it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all.


The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law
