What essay is "Every man I meet is in some way my superior" from? (Quote by Emerson)?

Answer 1

The complete quote that is generally attributed to Emerson is: "Every man I meet is in some way my superior; and
in that, I can learn from him." That said, I could not find the source. Sorry. I can tell you that often when that happens the quote has not, in fact, been written or uttered by the person. Good luck in your search.
