Favorite Ralph Waldo Emerson quote?

Question

For my final English project, I decided to do transcendentalism. I was wondering what peoples favorite quotes are. No explanation needed, just wanted to see which ones were most popular.

Answer 1

"Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."

"We are students of words; we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing"
