More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strenuous soul hates cheap success. It is the ardor of the assailant that makes the vigor of the defendant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whilst all the world is in pursuit of power, culture corrects the theory of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of themanly contemplation of the whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a man thinks happily, he finds no foot-track in the field he traverses. All spontaneous thought is irrespective of all else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the spirit is not master of the world, then it is its dupe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of success in education is respecting the students.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment and even obstacles and opposition will but make us like the fabled specter-ships, which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
