Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Flowers are the earth laughing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot make a cheap palace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Housekeeping is not beautiful it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child neither the host nor the guestit oppresses women. A house kept to the end of prudence is laborious without joy a house kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Miracle comes to the miraculous, not to the arithmetician.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only prudence in life is concentration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The course of everything goes to teach us faith.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The attraction and superiority of California are in its days. It has better days & more of them, than any other country.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You shall have joy, or you shall have power, said God you shall not have both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,--a certain robust and radiant physical health or--shall I say?--great volumes of animal heat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
