Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
More from Ralph Waldo Emerson

- One man's justice is another's injustice; one man's beauty another's ugliness; one man's wisdom another's folly.
- Tomorrow will be like today. Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.
- Nature abhors the old, and old age seems the only disease; all others run into this one.
- Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great.
- Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
- In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
- Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.
