More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Immitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And last of all, high over thought, in the world of morals, Fate appears as vindicator, levelling the high, lifting the low, requiring justice in man, and always striking soon or late when justice is not done. What is useful will last, what is hurtful will sink.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion one, fame, the other, desert one, feats, the other, humility one, lucre, the other, love one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart. They serve nature for bread, but her loveliness overcomes them sometimes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among provocative, the next best thing to good preaching is bad preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a part and parcel of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many of the historical proverbs have a doubtful paternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sermon which I write inquisitive of truth is good a year after, but that which is written because a sermon must be writ is musty the next day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pictures must not be too picturesque.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining forthe metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God builds his temple in the heart on the ruins of churches and religions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Come out of the azure. Love the day. Do not leave the sky out of your landscape.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
