More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pleasure of life is according to the man that lives it, and not according to the work or place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Youth is everywhere in place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The three practical rules, then, which I have to offer, are, --/ Never read a book that is not a year old./ Never read any but the famed books./ Never read any but what you like.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is virtue yet in the hoe and the spade, for learned as well as for unlearned hands. And labor is everywhere welcome alwayswe are invited to work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe does not jest with us, but is in earnest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis weak and vicious people who cast the blame on Fate. The right use of Fate is to bring up our conduct to the loftiness of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
