Ralph Waldo Emerson Dew Quotations

The world globes itself in a drop of dew.

Writing should be the settlement of dew on the leaf.

Manners are the happy ways of doing things; each one a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage, they form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dew-drops which give such a depth to the morning meadows.

Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
