More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women, more than all, are the element and kingdom of illusion. Being fascinated, they fascinate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
In the uttermost meaning of the words, thought is devout, and devotion is thought. Deep calls unto deep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history isto be read and written.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we can, and then make a theory to prove our performance the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
