Admiration Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Self-love is, in almost all men, such an over-weight that they are incredulous of a man's habitual preference of the general good to his own; but when they see it proved by sacrifices of ease, wealth, rank, and of life itself, there is no limit to their admiration.” quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
