More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise cultivated, genial conversation is the last flower of civilization, and the best result which life has to offer us,--a cup for gods, which has no repentance. Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know, is brought into play, and as the reproduction in finer form, of all our havings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only joy in his being mine, is that the not mine is mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A garden is like those pernicious machineries which catch a man's coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg , and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the hardest task in the world? To think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A life in harmony with nature, the love of truth and virtue, will purge the eyes to understanding her text.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact makes much impression on him, and another none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth endures Stars abide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would know what nobody knows, read what everybody reads, just one year afterwards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Same, the Same: friend and foe are of one stuff the ploughman, the plough, and the furrow, are of one stuff and the stuff is such, and so much, that the variations of form are unimportant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatize or accept another's dogmatism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy conforms to nobody all conform to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Looking at God instantly reduces our disposition to dissent from our brother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The craft with which the world is made runs also into the mind and character of men. No man is quite sane each has a vein of folly in his composition, a slight determination of blood to the head, to make sure of holding him hard to some one point which Nature has taken to heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face, until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened then we behold them, and the time when we saw them not is like a dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No hope so bright but is the beginning of its own fulfilment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
