More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spoons and skimmers you can be undistinguishably together but vases and statues require each a pedestal for itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each of us sees in others what we carry in our own hearts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no hostility to nature, but a child's love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The noblest ministry of nature is to stand as the apparition of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Improve your spare moments and they will become the brightest gems in your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every wall is a door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Flowers are the earth laughing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great licentiousness treads on the heels of a reformation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining forthe metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go face the fire at sea, or the cholera in your friend's house, or the burglar in your own, or what danger lies in the way of duty, knowing you are guarded by the cherubim of Destiny. If you believe in Fate to your harm, believe it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People only see what they are prepared to see. If you look for what is good and what you can be grateful for you will find it everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
