More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will not live out of me I will not see with others' eyes My good is good, my evil ill I would be free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two in a thought, in a feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we refine, our checks become finer. If we rise to spiritual culture, the antagonism takes a spiritual form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So in writing, there is always a right word, and every other than that is wrong. There is no beauty in words except in their collocation. The effect of a fanciful word misplaced, is like that of a horn of exquisite polish growing on a human head.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What a new face courage puts on everything!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will no longer confer, differ, refer, defer, prefer, or suffer. I renounce the whole tribe of fero. I embrace absolute life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make asally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men's thinking.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The terrors of the child are quite reasonable, and add to his loveliness for his utter ignorance and weakness, and his enchanting indignation on such a small basis of capital compel every bystander to take his part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go, speed the stars of Thought On to their shining goals - The sower scatters broad his seed, The wheat thou strew'st be souls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who have ruled human destinies, like planets, for thousands of years, were not handsome men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever is old corrupts, and the past turns to snakes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days come and go but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
