Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are better than this theology.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of health is fine disposition
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is the stage on which manners are shown novels are the literature. Novels are the journal or record of manners and the new importance of these books derives from the fact, that the novelist begins to penetrate the surface, and treat this part of life more worthily.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do not believe in the power of education. We do not think we can speak to divine sentiments in man, and we do not try. We renounce all high aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy conforms to nobody all conform to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pleasure of life is according to the man that lives it, and not according to the work or place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So use all that is called Fortune. Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do thou leave as unlawful these winnings, and deal with Cause and Effect, the Chancellors of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There comes a time in each man's education in which he comes to the conclusion that envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide, and society in in conspiracy against each one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What matters most is not what is behind us or before us, but what is within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
