Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When its errands are noble and adequate, a steamboat bridging the Atlantic between Old and New England, and arriving at its ports with the punctuality of a planet, is a step of man into harmony with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We acquire the strength we have overcome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism... It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a series of surprises.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A weed is a plant whose virtue is not yet known.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do that which you fear to do, and the fear will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The last change in our point of view gives the whole world a pictorial air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our first mistake is the belief that the circumstance gives the joy which we give to the circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The powers of the Soul are commensurate with its needs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In sculpture did ever anybody call the Apollo a fancy piece? Or say of the Laocoon how it might be made different? A masterpiece of art has in the mind a fixed place in the chain of being, as much as a plant or a crystal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People do not deserve to have good writing, they are so pleased with bad.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
