Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the symbol of Spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The glory of the farmer is that, in the division of labors, it is his part to create. All trade rests at last on his primitive activity. He stands close to Nature he obtains from the earth the bread and the meat. The food which was not, he causes to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded every sacrifice is made up every debt is paid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish to say what I think and feel today, with the proviso that tomorrow perhaps I shall contradict it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And dazzling memory revive.Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures, with the pen Which, on the first day, drew Upon the tablets blue The dancing Pleiads, and the eternal men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the devils respect virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In America and Europe, the nomadism is of trade and curiosity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
