Quote

“The only way to have a friend is to be one.”

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sepia-toned portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson, featuring his sharp facial features, deep-set eyes, and prominent nose. He is wearing a dark coat with a wide, flat collar and a black bow tie. Emerson has a solemn expression, with his lips pressed firmly together and a gaze that looks slightly to the right of the viewer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, circa 1857
