原文: Top 20 Great Quotes of Emerson
Emerson was considered one of the great orators of the time, Emerson’s enthusiasm and respect for his audience enraptured crowds. His support for abolitionism late in life created controversy, and at times he was subject to abuse from crowds while speaking on the topic, however this was not always the case. When asked to sum up his work, he said his central doctrine was “the infinitude of the private man.” The greatest tragedy relating to the life of Emerson is that he is not as well known outside of the United States as he is inside. Hopefully this list will inspire some non-Americans to read a little of his work.

人们最爱引用的20条爱默生名言
爱默生被誉为这历史上最伟大的演说家之一，他充满激情，尊重听众，使其为之着迷。他晚年由于支持废奴主义而引起争议，他就这一观点当众演说时，不时遭受辱骂，但并非总是如此。当被问到如何总结他的作品时，他说，他的中心理论是“个人的无限性。” 爱默生一生最大的悲剧是，他在其他国家没有像在美国那么受欢迎。希望这些名言能激励其他国家的人阅读他的一些作品。
