More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language - not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes we receive the power to say yes to life. Then peace enters us and makes us whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do not believe in the power of education. We do not think we can speak to divine sentiments in man, and we do not try. We renounce all high aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little integrity is better than any career.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's personal defects will commonly have with the rest of the world precisely that importance which they have to himself. If he makes light of them, so will other men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We don't grow old. When we cease to grow, we become old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Money is of no value it cannot spend itself. All depends on the skill of the spender.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man, who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The narrow sectarian cannot read astronomy with impunity. The creeds of his church shrivel like dried leaves at the door of the observatory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
