More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who loses a day loses life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
London is the epitome of our times, and the Rome of to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man builds a fine house and now he has a master, and a task for life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot make a cheap palace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is some awe mixed with the joy of our surprise, when this poet, who lived in some past world, two or three hundred years ago, says that which lies close to my own soul, that which I also had wellnigh thought and said.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look out! Behind you!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride ruined the angels, Their shame them restores And the joy that is sweetest Lurks in stings of remorse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power and speed be hands and feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the children of many sires, and every drop of blood in us in its turn betrays its ancestor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's action is only a poicture book of his creed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of friendship is entireness, a total magnanimity and trust.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral equalizes all enriches, empowers all. It is the coin which buys all, and which all find in their pocket. Under the whipof the driver, the slave shall feel his equality with saints and heroes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
