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.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We stand against fate, as children stand up against the wall in their father's house, and notch their height from year to year. But when the boy grows to a man, and is master of the house, he pulls down that wall and builds it new and bigger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shun the rugged battle of fate where strength is born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good indignation makes an excellent speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like man, but not men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think the vice of our housekeeping is that it does not hold man sacred. The vice of government, the vice of education, the viceof religion, is one with that of the private life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The primary wisdom is intuition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only joy in his being mine, is that the not mine is mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing we value and hunt and cultivate and strive to draw to us, but in some hour we turn and rend it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
...man is an analogist, and studies relations in all objects. He is placed in the center of beings, and a ray of relation passes from every other being to him. And neither can man be understood without these objects, nor these objects without man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the first place, all books that get fairly into the vital air of the world were written by the successful class, by the affirming and advancing class, who utter what tens of thousands feel though they cannot say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are adapted to infinity. We are hard to please, and love nothing which ends: and in nature is no end but every thing, at the end of one use, is lifted into a superior, and the ascent of these things climbs into daemonic and celestial natures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We, as we read, must become Greeks, Romans, Turks, priest and king, martyr and executioner must fasten these images to some reality in our secret experience, or we shall learn nothing rightly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
