More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. Theuniverse is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ascribe beauty to that which is simple which has no superfluous parts which exactly answers its end which stands related to all things which is the mean of many extremes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The inquiry leads us to that source, at once the essence of genius, of virtue, and of life, which we call Spontaneity or Instinct.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set your own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The adventitious beauty of poetry may be felt in the greater delight with a verse given in a happy quotation than in the poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People seem sheathed in their tough organization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The have a good friend is one of the greatest delights of life.
