Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. I who alone am, I who see nothing in nature whose existence I can affirm with equal evidence to my own, behold now the semblance of my being, in all its height, variety, and curiosity, reiterated in a foreign form so that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The arts and inventions of each period are only its costume, and do not invigorate men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the hearing man unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What a new face courage puts on everything!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go where he will, the wise man is at home, His hearth the earth, his hall the azure dome.
