More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
One can never truly savor success until first tasting adversity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
With each divine impulse the mind rends the thin rinds of the visible and finite, and comes out into eternity, and inspires and expires its air. It converses with truths that have always been spoken in the world, and becomes conscious of a closer sympathy with Zeno and Arrian, than with persons in the house.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our expense is almost all for conformity. It is for cake that we run in debt 'tis not the intellect, not the heart, not beauty, not worship, that costs so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a sign of our times, conspicuous to the coarsest observer, that many intelligent and religious persons withdraw themselves from the common labors and competitions of the market and the caucus, and betake themselves to a certain solitary and critical way of living, from which no solid fruit has yet appeared to justify their separation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pain, indolence, sterility, endless ennui have also their lesson for you, if you are great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no teaching until the pupil is brought into the same state or principle in which you are a transfusion takes place he is you, and you are he then is a teaching and by no unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever lose the benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a frugal mother, and never gives without measure. When she has work to do, she qualifies men for that and sends them equipped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we call results are beginnings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enlarge not thy destiny, said the oracle: endeavor not to do more than is given thee in charge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sleeping child gives me the impression of a traveler in a very far country.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
More than the diamond Koh-i-noor, which glitters among their crown jewels, they prize the dull pebble which is wiser than a man, whose poles turn themselves to the poles of the world, and whose axis is parallel to the axis of the world. Now, their toys are steam and galvanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but willpick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the hearing man unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two in a thought, in a feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it... -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A mob is a society obodies, voluntarily bereaving themselves oreason, and traversing its work. The mob is man, voluntarily descending to the nature othe beast. Its fit hour oactivity is night its actions are insane, like its whole constitution.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
