More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Even in the mud and scum of things, something always, always sings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I consider theology to be the rhetoric of morals.
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
The peril of every fine faculty is the delight of playing with it for pride. Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character, and the greater it grows, the more is the mischief. Talent is mistaken for genius, a dogma or system for truth, ambition for greatness, ingenuity for poetry, sensuality for art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we are, so we do and as we do, so is it done to us we are the builders of our fortunes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not spill thy soul in running hither and yon, grieving over the mistakes and the vices of others. The one person whom it is most necessary to reform is yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's a luxury to be understood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You must let go of a thing for a new one to come to you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
London is the epitome of our times, and the Rome of to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Looking at God instantly reduces our disposition to dissent from our brother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Teach the children! It is painting in fresco.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man should let out all the length of all the reigns should find or make a frank and healthy expression of what force and meaning is in him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
