Pay no heed to the average photographer's remarks upon flat and weak negatives. Probably he is flat, weak, stale, and unprofitable your negative may be first-rate, and probably is if he does not approve of it.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
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
Have mountains, and waves, and skies, no significance but what we consciously give them, when we employ them as emblems of our thoughts?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in the view of absolute goodness, adores, with total humility. Every step downward, is a step upward. The man who renounceshimself, comes to himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can only obey our own polarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Words are finite organs of the infinite mind. They cannot cover the dimensions of what is in truth. They break, chop, and impoverish it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The action of the soul is oftener in that which is felt and left unsaid than in that which is said in any conversation. It broods over every society, and men unconsciously seek for it in each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is girt all round with a zodiac of sciences, the contributions of men who have perished to add their point of light to our sky. ... These road-makers on every hand enrich us. We must extend the area of life and multiply our relations. We are as much gainers by finding a property in the old earth as by acquiring a new planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dearest events are summer-rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stupidity of men always invites the insolence of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The multitude of false churches accredits the true religion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
