Famous Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotations

United States writer and leading exponent of transcendentalism (1803-1882)

"It is commonly observed that a sudden wealth, like a prize drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not permanently enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the rapid wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny, and the treasure is quickly dissipated."
