More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest end of government is the culture of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All my hurts my garden spade can heal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All ages of belief have been great all of unbelief have been mean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature ever faithful is To such as trust her faithfulness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism is affluent and openhanded, but there is a cunning juggle in riches. I observe that they take somewhat for everythingthey give. I look bigger, but am less I have more clothes, but am nit so warm more armor, but less courage more books, but less wit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world - this shadow of the soul, or other me - lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult... So much only of life as I know by experience... The true scholar grudges every opportunity of action past by, as a loss of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some men, at the approach of a dispute, neigh like horses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's actions are the picture book of his creeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dice of God are always loaded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Patience and fortitude conquer all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One can never truly savor success until first tasting adversity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures it is the finest of fine arts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
