He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who listened to Lord Chatham felt that there was something finer in the man, than anything which he said.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The bulk of mankind believe in two gods. They are under one dominion here in the house, as friend and parent, in social circles, in letters, in art, in love, in religion but in mechanics, in dealing with steam and climate, in trade, in politics, they think they come under another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am old, yet I look at wise men and see that I am very young. I look over those stars yonder, and into the myriads of the aspirant and ordered souls, and see I am a stranger and a youth and have yet my spurs to win. Too ridiculous are these airs of age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as a child has left the room his strewn toys become affecting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not for nothing one face, one character, one fact makes much impression on him, and another none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The next best thing to saying a good thing yourself is to quote one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philanthropic and religious bodies do not commonly make their executive officers out of saints.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of our statesmen said, The curse of this country is eloquent men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each of us sees in others what we carry in our own hearts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An empire is an immense egotism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
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
