More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should the way I feel depend on the thoughts in someone else's head?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor sequent centuries could hit Orbit and sum of SHAKSPEARE's wit. The men who lived with him became Poets, for the air was fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bonaparte knew but one merit, and rewarded in one and the same way the good soldier, the good astronomer, the good poet, the good player.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who have ruled human destinies, like planets, for thousands of years, were not handsome men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it men love in Genius, but its infinite hope, which degrades all it has done? Genius counts all its miracles poor and short. Its own idea it never executed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. Football is four 15-minute quarters. Plus timeouts and commercials.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People only see what they are prepared to see. If you look for what is good and what you can be grateful for you will find it everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul unbelief in denying them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at right time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the first place, all books that get fairly into the vital air of the world were written by the successful class, by the affirming and advancing class, who utter what tens of thousands feel though they cannot say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man thoroughly understands a truth until he has contended against it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything has its price - and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained... it is impossible to get anything without this price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universal does not attract us until housed in an individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you take in a lie, you must take in all that belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet. Thus, in his sonnets, the lays of birds, the scents and dyes of flowers, he finds to be the shadow of his beloved time, which keeps her from him, is his chest the suspicion she has awakened, is her ornament
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
