Thought is the seed of action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The love of novels is the preference of sentiment to the senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go, and is only right admirable when to all its beauty and speed a subserviency to the will, like that of walking, is added.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is more difference in the quality of our pleasures than in the amount.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many of the historical proverbs have a doubtful paternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is only rich who owns the day. There is no king, rich man, fairy, or demon who possesses such power as that.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
