Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes
That Second Man Has His Own Way Of Looking At Things; Asks Himself Which Debt Must I Pay First, The Debt To The Rich, Or The Debt To The Poor? The Debt Of Money, Or The Debt Of Thought To Mankind, Of Genius To Nature? For You, O Broker! There Is No Other Principle But Arithmetic. For Me, Commerce Is Of Trivial Import; Love, Faith, Truth Of Character, The Aspiration Of Man, These Are Sacred; Nor Can I Detach One Duty, Like You, From All Other Duties, And Concentrate My Forces Mechanically On The Payment Of Moneys. Let Me Live Onward; You Shall Find That, Though Slower, The Progress Of My Character Will Liquidate All These Debts Without Injustice To Higher Claims. If A Man Should Dedicate Himself To The Payment Of Notes, Would Not This Be Injustice? Does He Owe No Debt But Money? And Are All Claims On Him To Be Postponed To A Landlord's Or A Banker's?
