Transcendentalism Movement

The transcendentalism movement was a protest against the practice of spirituality; people believed you could find god in nature and did not have to participate in church held worship.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. Emerson is saying be a leader and be yourself

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. Emerson is saying experience nature

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. -Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau is saying that it's what's on the inside that matters most.

Things do not change; we change. -Henry David Thoreau
