More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason why all men honor love is because it looks up, and not down aspires and not despairs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you criticize a fine genius, the odds are that you are out of your reckoning, and, instead of the poet, are censuring your owncaricature of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It never was in the power of any man or any community to call the arts into being. They come to serve his actual wants, never to please his fancy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is our highest word and the synonym of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of love, as the basis of a State, has never been tried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a tendency in things to right themselves, and the war or revolution or bankruptcy that shatters rotten system, allows things to take a new and natural order.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must not tamper with the organic motion of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Honor and fortune exist for him who always recognizes the neighborhood of the great, always feels himself in the presence of high causes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I take this evanescence and lubricity of all objects, which lets them slip through our fingers then when we clutch hardest, to be the most unhandsome part of our condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imitator dooms himself to hopeless mediocrity. The inventor did it because it was natural to him, and so in him it has a charm. In the imitator something else is natural, and he bereaves himself of his own beauty, to come short of another man's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We walk alone in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
