More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strenuous soul hates cheap success. It is the ardor of the assailant that makes the vigor of the defendant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take egotism out and you would castrate the benefactors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware of jokes from which we go away hollow and ashamed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs, like the sacred books of each nation, are the sanctuary of the intuitions. That which the droning world, chained to appearances, will not allow the realist to say in his own words, it will suffer him to say in proverbs without contradiction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to mend the bad world is to create the right world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it's dark enough men see stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.
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
Any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We pray to be conventional. But the wary Heaven takes care you shall not be, if there is anything good in you. Dante was very badcompany, and was never invited to dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no person can sincerely try to help another without helping him or herself. Serve and you shall be served. If you love and serve people, you cannot, by any hiding or stratagem, escape the remuneration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is when you learn something new every day. Wisdom is when you let something go every day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Illusion, Temperament, Succession, Surface, Surprise, Reality, Subjectiveness,--these are the threads on the loom of time, these are the lords of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Two sorts of writers possess genius: those who think, and those who cause others to think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
