Ralph Waldo Emerson
All minds quote. Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands. By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. We quote not only books and proverbs, but arts, sciences, religion, customs, and laws nay, we quote temples and houses, tables and chairs, by imitation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Draw, if thou canst, the mystic line, Severing rightly his from thine, Which is human, which divine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are very inclined to set moral standards for others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Idealism sees the world in God. It beholds the whole circle of persons and things, of actions and events, of country and religion,not as painfully accumulated, atom after atom, act after act, in an aged creeping Past, but as one vast picture, which God paints on the instant eternity, for the contemplation of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is our highest word and the synonym of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though love repine, and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply,- 'Tis man's perdition to be safe, When for the truth he ought to die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man's skin, - seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
