More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Money often costs too much, and power and pleasure are not cheap.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Practice makes perfect - the sooner you start, the sooner you will be a happy nonsmoker
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I quote another man's saying unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose manners have the same essential splendor as the simple and awful sculpture on the friezes of the Parthenon, and the remains of the earliest Greek art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. (Despite) all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether... The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is properly no history, only biography.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two in a thought, in a feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Plant your DREAMS and miracles will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
O Lord! Unhappy is the man whom man can make unhappy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Duty grows everywhere--like children, like grass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
