More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never self-possessed, or prudent, love is all abandonment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I was praised I lost my time, for instantly I turned around to look at the work I had thought slightly of, and that day I made nothing new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the man is at home, his standing in society is well known and quietly taken but when he is abroad, it is problematical, and is dependent on the success of his manners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Surely nobody would be a charlatan, who could afford to be sincere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the East loves infinity, the West delights in boundaries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be an opener of doors
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good deal of our politics is physiological.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Say, what other metre is it Than the meeting of the eyes? Nature poureth into nature Through the channels of that feature Riding on the ray of sight, Fleeter far than whirlwinds go, Or for service, or delight, Hearts to hearts their meaning show.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This immediate dependence of language upon nature, this conversion of an outward phenomenon into a type of somewhat in human life,never loses its power to affect us. It is this which gives that piquancy to the conversation of a strong-natured farmer or backwoodsman, which all men relish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
