To laugh often and much

\nand affection of children; to earn the

\nendure the betrayal of false friends;
\nto appreciate beauty, to find the best

\nyou have lived. This is to have

\"\"<\/a> Ralph Waldo Emerson (25 May 1803 \u2013 27 Apr 1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who led the <\/em>transcendentalist<\/em><\/a> movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States. Emerson gradually moved away from the religious and social beliefs of his contemporaries, formulating and expressing the philosophy of transcendentalism in his 1836 essay “<\/em>Nature<\/a>“. Following this work, he gave a speech entitled “<\/em>The American Scholar<\/a>” in 1837, which Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. considered to be America’s “intellectual Declaration of Independence.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
