He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cowardice shuts the eyes till the sky is not larger than a calf-skin: shuts the eyes so that we cannot see the horse that is running away with us worse, shuts the eyes of the mind and chills the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many might go to Heaven with half the labor they go to hell.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why has my motley diary no jokes? Because it is a soliloquy and every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason of idleness and of crime is the deferring of our hopes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course, money will do after its kind, and will steadily work to unspiritualize and unchurch the people to whom it was bequeathed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Often a certain abdication of prudence and foresight is an element of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I can reason down or deny everything, except this perpetual Belly: feed he must and will, and I cannot make him respectable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is unnecessarily long. Moments of insight, of fine personal relation, a smile, a glance,--what ample borrowers of eternity they are!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief mourner does not always attend the funeral.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
O Lord! Unhappy is the man whom man can make unhappy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love should make joy but our benevolence is unhappy. Our Sunday-schools, and churches, and pauper-societies are yokes to the neck. We pain ourselves to please nobody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For he that feeds men serveth few He serves all who dares be true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whom God has put asunder, why should man put together?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The influence of fine scenery, the presence of mountains, appeases our irritations and elevates our friendships.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
