More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life, and someday he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous, and life in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we walk in the woods, we must feed mosquitoes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind will quote whether the tongue does or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mark of a man of the world is absence of pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare, while he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We seek our friend not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Education should be as broad as man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Profound sincerity is the only basis of talent as of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Astronomy is a cold, desert science, with all its pompous figures,-depends a little too much on the glass-grinder, too little on the mind. 'T is of no use to show us more planets and systems. We know already what matter is, and more or less of it does not signify.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house praises the carpenter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
