More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is the stage on which manners are shown novels are the literature. Novels are the journal or record of manners and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I can reason down or deny everything, except this perpetual Belly: feed he must and will, and I cannot make him respectable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Walking has the best value as gymnastics of the mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate,--no more. I cannot get it nearer to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a dog is chasing after you, whistle for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The common experience is, that the man fits himself as well as he can to the customary details of that work or trade he falls into, and tends it as a dog turns a spit. Then he is part of the machine he moves the man is lost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the moment of transition, as if the form were just ready to flow into other forms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dice of God are always loaded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success, the belief that if you are here the authorities of the universe put you here, and for cause, or with some task strictly appointed you in your constitution, and so long as you work at that you are well and successful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Steam is no stronger now than it was a hundred years ago, but it is put to better use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Improve your spare moments and they will become the brightest gems in your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tomorrow is a new day begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secrets of life are not shown except to sympathy and likeness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The piety of the Hebrew prophets purges their grossness. The circumcision is an example of the power of poetry to raise the low and offensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
