Image
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
What is it men love in Genius, but its infinite hope, which degrades all it has done? Genius counts all its miracles poor and short. Its own idea it never executed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
A believer, a mind whose faith is consciousness, is never disturbed because other persons do not yet see the fact which he sees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We might as easily reprove the east wind, or the frost, as a political party, whose members, for the most part, could give no account of their position, but stand for the defence of those interests in which they find themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
In Nature, all is useful, all is beautiful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The people are to be taken in very small doses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is better to suffer injustice than to do it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
To eat bread is one thing to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The mark of a man of the world is absence of pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Why has my motley diary no jokes? Because it is a soliloquy and every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is the eye which makes the horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
