Ralph Waldo Emerson
All history is biography.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can only obey our own polarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is an infinitely repelling orb, and holds his individual being on that condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of success in society is a certain heartiness and sympathy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The order of things consents to virtue.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is suffered to be himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science corrects the old creeds, sweeps away, with every new perception, our infantile catechisms, and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses yet it does not surprise the moral sentiment that was older and awaited expectant these larger insights.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a property in the horizon which no man has, but he whose eyes can integrate all the parts,--that is, the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window if heavy, it will obscure the light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first Muse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful is never plentiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride is handsome, economical pride eradicates so many vices, letting none subsist but itself, that it seems as if it were a great gain to exchange vanity for pride.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
