Ralph Waldo Emerson Institutions Quotations

You cannot institute, without peril of charlatanism.

I think all men know better than they do; know that the institutions we so volubly commend are go-carts and baubles; but they darenot trust their presentiments.

No institution will be better than the institutor.

We do not make a world of our own, but fall into institutions already made, and have to accommodate ourselves to them to be useful at all.
