More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go out of the house to see the moon, and't is mere tinsel it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape,I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The squirrel hoards nuts and the bee gathers honey, without knowing what they do, and they are thus provided for without selfishness or disgrace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is wanted, and no man is wanted much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We flee away from cities, but we bring The best of cities, these learned classifiers, Men knowing what they seek, armed eyes of experts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And striving to be Man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are some men above grief and some men below it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is a game of circles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
