Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree or draw a child by studying the outlines of its form merely but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at every attitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Nature, all is useful, all is beautiful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem, - a thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speak your latent conviction. . . Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
