More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
People seem sheathed in their tough organization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our first mistake is the belief that the circumstance gives the joy which we give to the circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If it costs ten years, and ten to recover the general prosperity, the destruction of the South is worth so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society never advances. It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes: it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is rich, it is scientific but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something else is taken. Society acquires new arts and loses old instincts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession', for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He has not one chance, but a hundred chances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn that God IS that he is in me and that all things are shadows of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever limits us we call fate.
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
Health and appetite impart the sweetness to sugar, bread and meat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a willow of the wilderness, Loving the wind that bent me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We resent all criticism which denies us anything that lies in our line of advance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emancipation is the demand of civilization. That is a principle everything else is an intrigue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is an ecstasy. Life is sweet as nitrous oxide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spartans, stoics, heroes, saints and gods use short and positive speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adult males are what their moms designed them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man has an aptitude born with him. Do your work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
