Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.
There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts.
Thoughts, like fleas, jump from man to man, but they don't bite everybody.
Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
In every work of genius we see our own rejected thoughts.
