More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise man, the true friend, the finished character, we seek everywhere, and only find in fragments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religions we call false were once true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are in some degree impressed by the face of the world some men even to delight. This love of beauty is taste. Others have the same love in such success that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is art.
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
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion must always be a crab fruit it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol and an audience is electrified.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is a divine dream, from which we may presently awake to the glories and certainties of day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is young: the former great men call to us affectionately. We too must write Bibles, to unite again the heavens and the earthly world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man complained that on his way home to dinner he had every day to pass through that long field of his neighbor's. I advised him to buy it, and it would never seem long again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of a man increases steadily by continuing in one direction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think no virtue goes with size.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human beings cannot endure the geological chaos they encounter under the soil of their own gardens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
