More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a channel through which heaven floweth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Yankee is one who, if he once gets his teeth set on a thing, all creation can't make him let go.

It is the last lesson of modern science, that the highest simplicity of structure is produced, not by few elements, but by the highest complexity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every thing admonishes us how needlessly long life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not be caught by the sensational in nature, as a coarse red-faced sunset, a garrulous waterfall, or a fifteen thousand foot mountain... avoid prettiness - the word looks much like pettiness - and there is but little difference between them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He decided to give up his large ambition of knowledge and action for any narrow craft or profession, aiming at a much more comprehensive calling, the art of living.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My life is for itself and not for a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
