More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Excite the soul, and the weather and the town and your condition in the world all disappear the world itself loses its solidity, nothing remains but the soul and the Divine Presence in which it lives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is not prayer a study of truth, a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is in short cycles or periods we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate he will not lift his hand to save his life he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is like a hunter, who cares not for the game when once caught, which he may have pursued with the most intense and breathless eagerness. Love is strongest in pursuit friendship in possession.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man in the street does not know a star in the sky.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what you're afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The surest poison is time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the great ages have been ages of belief.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of light and of heat translate each other-so do the laws of sound and colour and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The city is recruited from the country.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it men love in Genius, but its infinite hope, which degrades all it has done? Genius counts all its miracles poor and short. Its own idea it never executed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the children of many sires, and every drop of blood in us in its turn betrays its ancestor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see my trees repair their boughs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol and an audience is electrified.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
