More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be a gift and a benediction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to learn German, is, to read the same dozen pages over and over a hundred times, till you know every word and particle in them, and can pronounce and repeat them by heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken.
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
It is never too late to do right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little fact is worth a whole limbo of dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In my utter impotence to test the authenticity of the report of my senses, to know whether the impressions they make on me correspond with outlying objects, what difference does it make, whether Orion is up there in heaven, or some god paints the image in the firmament of the soul?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
a good reader makes a good book
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Noblesse oblige or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conformity is the ape of harmony.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luck is just another word for tenacity of purpose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Steam is no stronger now than it was a hundred years ago, but it is put to better use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
