Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man believes that he has greater possibilities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest compact we can make with our fellow is - Let there be truth between us two forevermore.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language - not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every really able man, in whatever direction he works - a man of large affairs, an inventor, a statesman, an orator, a poet, a painter - if you talk sincerely with him, considers his work, however much admired, as far short of what it should be. What is this Better, this flying Ideal, but the perpetual promise of his Creator?
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty through my senses stole I yielded myself to the perfect whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great man is unique.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
