The solid, solid universe Is pervious to Love With bandaged eyes he never errs, Around, below, above. His blinding light He flingeth white On God's and Satan's brood, And reconciles By mystic wiles The evil and the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do not believe in the power of education. We do not think we can speak to divine sentiments in man, and we do not try. We renounce all high aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hope in these days we have heard the last of conformity and consistency. Let the words be gazetted and ridiculous henceforward.Instead of the gong for dinner, let us hear a whistle from the Spartan fife.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones they are what they are they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science was false by being unpoetical. It assumed to explain a reptile or a mollusk, and isolated it-which is hunting for life in graveyards. Reptile or mollusk or man or angel only exists in system, in relation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Natural religion supplies still all the facts which are disguised under the dogma of popular creeds. The progress of religion is steadily to its identity with morals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
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
What the tender and poetic youth dreams to-day, and conjures up with inarticulate speech, is to-morrow the vociferated result of public opinion, and the day after is the character of nations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To believe in luck ... is skepticism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do a kindness too soon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shun the rugged battle of fate where strength is born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work. The lesson one learns from yachting or planting is the manners of Nature patience with the delays of wind and sun, delays of the seasons, bad weather, excess or lack of water.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
