More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy conforms to nobody all conform to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As Arkwright and Whitney were the demi-gods of cotton, so prolific Time will yet bring an inventor to every plant. There is not a property in nature but a mind is born to seek and find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the hardest task in the world? To think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intemperance is the only vulgarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the spirit is not master of the world, then it is its dupe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People wish to be settled only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is the ring of his spells, And the play of his miracles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
