Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth's a howling wilderness, Truculent with fraud and force.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise cultivated, genial conversation is the last flower of civilization, and the best result which life has to offer us,--a cup for gods, which has no repentance. Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know, is brought into play, and as the reproduction in finer form, of all our havings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are thus assisted by natural objects in the expression of particular meanings. But how great a language to convey such pepper-corn informations!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go face the fire at sea, or the cholera in your friend's house, or the burglar in your own, or what danger lies in the way of duty, knowing you are guarded by the cherubim of Destiny. If you believe in Fate to your harm, believe it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour and is not reminded of the flux of all things?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
