Ralph Waldo Emerson on Youth
← Back to Ralph Waldo Emerson Profile
“Olympian bards who sung Divine ideas below, Which always find us young, And always keep us so.”
“Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept the views, which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given, forgetful that Cicero, Locke, and Bacon were only young men in libraries, when they wrote these books.”
