More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is really no insurmountable barrier save your own inherent weakness of purpose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The judge weighs the arguments and puts a brave face on the matter, and since there must be a decision, decides as he can, and hopes he has done justice and given satisfaction to the community
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The frost which kills the harvest of a year saves the harvest of a century, by destroying the weevil or the locust.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look out! Behind you!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our health is our sound relation to external objects our sympathy with external being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
