And what lies before us
Are tiny matters
Compared to what lies within us”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.
When asked to sum up his work, he said his central doctrine was “the infinitude of the private man.”
Emerson discounted Biblical miracles and proclaimed that, while Jesus was a great man, he was not God: historical Christianity, he said, had turned Jesus into a “demigod, as the Orientals or the Greeks would describe Osiris or Apollo”.[44] His comments outraged the establishment and the general Protestant community. For this, he was denounced as an atheist,[44] and a poisoner of young men’s minds.
