More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We read often with as much talent as we write.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us unlearn our wisdom of the world. Let us lie low in the Lord's power, and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The influence of fine scenery, the presence of mountains, appeases our irritations and elevates our friendships.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men are sincere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn geology the morning after the earthquake, on ghastly diagrams of cloven mountains, upheaved plains, and the dry bed of the sea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Come out of the azure. Love the day. Do not leave the sky out of your landscape.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a power in love to divine another's destiny better than that other can, and by heroic encouragements, hold him to his task. What has friendship so signal as its sublime attraction to whatever virtue is in us?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language - not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was a pleasure and a privilege to walk with him [H.D. Thoreau]. He knew the country like a fox or a bird, and passed through it as freely by paths of his own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All necessary truth is its own evidence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we walk in the woods, we must feed mosquitoes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Church seems to totter to its fall, almost all life extinct. On this occasion, any complaisance would be criminal which told you, whose hope and commission it is to preach the faith of Christ, that the faith of Christ is preached.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful Jove young Phidias brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We put our love where we have put our labor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
