More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life, and someday he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous, and life in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism... It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religionists are clinging to little, positive, verbal, formal versions of the moral law... while the laws of the Law, the great circling truths whose only adequate symbol is the material laws, the astronomy etc. are all unobserved, and sneered at when spoken of.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success, the belief that if you are here the authorities of the universe put you here, and for cause, or with some task strictly appointed you in your constitution, and so long as you work at that you are well and successful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In this great society wide lying around us, a critical analysis would find very few spontaneous actions. It is almost all custom and gross sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature tells every secret once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By degrees we may come to know the primitive sense of the permanent objects of nature, so that the world shall be to us an open book, and every form significant of its hidden life and final cause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief value of the new fact is to enhance the great and constant fact of life.
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
Beware of too much good staying in your hand. It will fast corrupt and worm worms. Pay it away quickly in some sort.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
On bravely through the sunshine and the showers! Time hath his work to do, and we have ours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Noblesse oblige or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is the need to create but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
