More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One man pins me to the wall, while with another I walk among the stars
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Providence has a wild, rough, incalculable road to its end, and it is of no use to try to whitewash its huge, mixed instrumentalities, or to dress up that terrific benefactor in a clean shirt and white neckcloth of a student in divinity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the Sandwich Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We take care of our health we lay up money we make our roof tight, and our clothing sufficient but who provides wisely that he shall not be wanting in the best property of all, -friends?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do your thing, and I shall know you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always a best way of doing everything.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life. Football is four 15-minute quarters. Plus timeouts and commercials.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
