Lying Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All Lying quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson’s page
A ship stuck on a reef, tossed by waves, shows how Emerson thinks our thoughts can drift away if we don’t watch them. He says lying hides the real self and makes us forget the simple truth that learning comes from respecting each learner. He also points out that even small selfish acts feel like stealing when we compare them to larger truths.
