More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Really, all things and persons are related to us, but according to our nature, they act on us not at once, but in succession, andwe are made aware of their presence one at a time. All persons, all things which we have known, are here present, and many more than we see the world is full.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This immediate dependence of language upon nature, this conversion of an outward phenomenon into a type of somewhat in human life,never loses its power to affect us. It is this which gives that piquancy to the conversation of a strong-natured farmer or backwoodsman, which all men relish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we seek we shall find what we flee from flees from us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is a result of doing good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are not free to use today, or to promise tomorrow, because we are already mortgaged to yesterday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you act, you show character if you sit still, you show it if you sleep you show it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good deal of our politics is physiological.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a part and parcel of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a dull mind all of nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose every old scholar has had the experience of reading something in a book which was significant to him, but which he could never find again. Sure he is that he read it there, but no one else ever read it, nor can he find it again, though he buy the book and ransack every page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our statute is a currency which we stamp with our own portrait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful is never plentiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
