More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our best thoughts come from others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps love is only the highest symbol of friendship, as all other things seem symbols of love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We resent all criticism which denies us anything that lies in our line of advance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we could have any security against moods! If the profoundest prophet could be holden to his words, and the hearer who is readyto sell all and join the crusade, could have any certificate that to-morrow his prophet shall not unsay his testimony!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am Defeated all the time, yet to Victory I am born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest proof of civility is that the whole public action of the State is directed on securing the greatest good of the greatest number.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One man pins me to the wall, while with another I walk among the stars
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of no conversation should smoke.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sentiment of virtue is a reverence and delight in the presence of certain divine laws. It perceives that this homely game of life we play, covers, under what seem foolish details, principles that astonish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be yourself no base imitator of another, but your best self.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much better when the whole land is a garden, and the people have grown up in the bowers of a paradise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
