Ralph Waldo Emerson Savages Quotations

Savages cling to a local god of one tribe or town. The broad ethics of Jesus were quickly narrowed to village theologies, which preach an election or favoritism.

When we attempt to define and describe God, both language and thought desert us, and we are as helpless as fools and savages.

Why should we fear to be crushed by savage elements, we who are made up of the same elements?

Life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour.
