If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.

The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the children of many sires, and every drop of blood in us in its turn betrays its ancestor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some men love only to talk where they are masters. They like to go to school-girls, or to boys, or into the shops where the sauntering people gladly lend an ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest proof of civility is that the whole public action of the State is directed on securing the greatest good of the greatest number.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men.

Under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cheerful, intelligent face is the end of culture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Good Spirit never cared for the colleges, and though all men and boys were now drilled in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, it had quite left these shells high on the beach, and was creating and feeding other matters [science] at other ends of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
London is the epitome of our times, and the Rome of to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac a talent for debate, disputant skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's action is only a poicture book of his creed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
