Quote 11 of 40

From Emerson's Essays, by Ralph Waldo Emerson

What right have I to write on prudence, whereof I have little, and
that of negative sort? ...  I have no skill to make money spend well,
no genius in my economy, and whoever sees my garden discovers that I
must have some other garden.
		-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Prudence", p. 116
