More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear what you say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Idealism sees the world in God. It beholds the whole circle of persons and things, of actions and events, of country and religion,not as painfully accumulated, atom after atom, act after act, in an aged creeping Past, but as one vast picture, which God paints on the instant eternity, for the contemplation of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The problem of restoring to the world original and eternal beauty is solved by redemption of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No facts are to me sacred none are profane I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An answer in words is delusive it is really no answer to the questions you ask.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last,--a long way leading nowhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each ofthese works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken that act or step is the spiritual act all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gentleman is a man of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shun the rugged battle of fate where strength is born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep is not, death is not Who seem to die Live. House you were born in, Friends of your spring-time, old man and young maid, Day's toil and it's guerdon, They are all vanishing, Fleeing to fables, Cannot be moored
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise skeptic does not teach doubt but how] to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mankind divides itself into two classes,--benefactors and malefactors. The second class is vast the first a handful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot let our angels go we do not see that they only go out that archangels may come in.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poise of a plant, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every vegetable and animal, are also demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul. All history from its highest to its trivial passages is the various record of this power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
