More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
With each divine impulse the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and finite, and comes out into eternity, and inspires and expires its air.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shun the rugged battle of fate where strength is born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
[W]e pity our fathers for dying before steam and galvanism, sulphuric ether and ocean telegraphs, photograph and spectrograph arrived, as cheated out of their human estate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An individual has a healthy personality to the exact degree to which they have the propensity to look for the good in every situation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
