More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art should exhilarate, and throw down the walls of circumstance on every side, awakening in the beholder the same sense of universal relation and power which the work evinced in the artist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners make the fortune of the ambitious youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first for example, a well-laid garden and nothing seems worth doing but the laying~out of gardens.
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
We shun the rugged battle of fate where strength is born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startles out wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners require time, and nothing is more vulgar than haste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never read any book that is not a year old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is an esoteric doctrine of society, that a little wickedness is good to make muscle as if conscience were not good for hands and legs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among the map makers of each generation are the risk takers, those who see the opportunities, seize the moment and expand man's vision of the future
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones they are what they are they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You can take better care of your secret than another can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
