More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Underneath the inharmonious and trivial particulars, is a musical perfection, the Ideal journeying always with us, the heaven without rent or seam.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Very few of our race can be said to be yet finished men. We still carry sticking to us some remains of the preceding inferior quadruped organization. We call these millions men but they are not yet men. Half-engaged in the soil, pawing to get free, man needs all the music that can be brought to disengage him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. How far off, how cool, how chaste the persons look,begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only that is poetry which cleanses and mans me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The problem of restoring to the world original and eternal beauty is solved by redemption of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character teaches above our wills.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I didn't find my friends the good Lord gave them to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of Education lies in respecting the pupil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man builds a fine house and now he has a master, and a task for life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The powers of the Soul are commensurate with its needs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Line in Nature is not found Unit and Universe are round.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friends should be like books, easy to find when you need them, but seldom used.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no way to success in art but to take off your coat, grind paint, and work like a digger on the railroad, all day and every day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Deep insight will always, like Nature, ultimate its thought in a thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element.
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
A great man stands on God. A small man on a great man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
