"The only way to have a friend is to be one."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth. Nothing like old fashioned American wisdom. Friendship is a two way street, you must give to receive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, lecturer, and poet. He is known for being a leader of the Transcendentalist movement which he solidified with his 1836 essay Nature. Oliver Wendell Holmes considered Emerson's subsequent speech, "The American Scholar", America's "Intellectual Declaration of Independence". Emerson's work would go on to influence American thinking and culture indefinitely. He was also a good friend and mentor to fellow Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau.
