More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. perhaps you will say a man is not young; i answer he is rich. he is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich -that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
Love Witty Money
I think it's very pretty. can it be pretty if no one thinks it's pretty? i think it's pretty. if you're the only one? that's pretty pretty. and what about the boys? don't you want them to think you're pretty? i wouldn't want a boy to think i was pretty unless he was the kind of boy who thought i was pretty.
Boys Thinking Want
Oh god, are there so many of them in our land! students who can’t be happy until they’ve graduated, servicemen who can’t be happy until they are discharged, single folks who can’t be happy until they’ve found a mate, workers who can’t be happy until they’ve retired, adolescents who aren’t happy until they’re grown, ill people who aren’t happy until they’re well, failures who aren’t happy until they succeed, restless who can’t wait until they get out of town, and in most cases, vice versa, people waiting, waiting for the world to begin.

Uriah looked better than he did an hour ago--he washed the blood from his mouth, and some of the color returned to his face. i'm struck, suddenly, by how handsome he is-- all his features are proportionate, his eyes dark and lively, his skin bronze-brown. and he has probably always been handsome. only boys who have been handsome from a young age have that arrogance in their smile. not like tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles like he is surprised you bothered to look at him from the first place.
Eye Dark Boys
He that is not handsome at 20, nor strong at 30, nor rich at 40, nor wise at 50, will never be handsome, strong, rich or wise.
Beauty Wise Wisdom
On a ruinous wall i came upon a poster dating from the previous year and announcing that ‘six handsome bulls’ would be killed in the arena on such and such a date. how forlorn its faded colours looked. where were the handsome bulls and the handsome bull-fighters now? it appeared that even in barcelona there were hardly any bullfights nowadays - for some reason all the best matadors were fascists.
