More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A poem is made up of thoughts, each of which filled the whole sky of the poet in its turn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thou art to me a delicious torment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men exist that there might be greater men.
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
The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a part and parcel of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America means opportunity, freedom, power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust-hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
