More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The simplicity of the universe is very different from the simplicity of a machine. The simplicity of nature is not that which may be easily read but is inexhaustible. The last analysis can no wise be made.
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
Each man reserves to himself alone the right of being tedious.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, through all her kingdoms, insures herself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every stoic was a stoic but in Christendom where is the Christian?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That man is idle who can do something better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is another name for opportunity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
In imitation is a bit suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every day, a little sadder, a little madder. Will someone get me a ladder?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A weed is a plant we've found no use for yet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only reward of virtue is virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We change whether we like it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
