More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Providence has a wild, rough, incalculable road to its end, and it is of no use to try to whitewash its huge, mixed instrumentalities, or to dress up that terrific benefactor in a clean shirt and white neckcloth of a student in divinity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tragedy is in the eye of the observer, and not in the heart of the sufferer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society does not love its unmaskers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
All mankind love a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us stun and astonish the intruding rabble of men and books and institutions by a simple declaration of the divine fact. Bid the invaders take the shoes from off their feet, for God is here within.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every time you wink the stars move.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not make himself manifest to cowards
