Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
When all shoot at one mark, the gods join in the combat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are some men above grief and some men below it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My good hoe as it bites the ground revenges my wrongs, and I have less lust to bite my enemies. In the smoothing the rough hillocks, I smooth my temper.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis the good reader that makes the good book a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I covet truth beauty is unripe childhood's cheat I leave it behind with the games of youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must learn the language of facts. The most wonderful inspirations die with their subject, if he has no hand to paint them to the senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are moods in which we court suffering, in the hope that here, at least, we shall find reality, sharp peaks and edges of truth. But it turns out to be scene-painting and counterfeit. The only thing grief has taught me is to know how shallow it is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What a new face courage puts on everything!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The end of being is to know and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
