More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cheerful, intelligent face is the end of culture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good nature is stronger than tomahawks.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant's economy is a coarse symbol of the soul's economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul refuses limits and always affirms an optimism, never a pessimism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self reliance, the height and perfection of man, is reliance on God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And truly it demands something god like in him who has cast off the common motives of humanity, and has ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster. High be his heart, faithful his will, clear his sight, that he may in good earnest be doctrine, society, law, to himself, that a simple purpose may be to him as strong as iron necessity is to others!
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Daughter of heaven and earth, coy Spring, With sudden passion languishing, Teaching barren moors to smile, Painting pictures mile on mile, Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths Whence a smokeless incense breathes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shot heard round the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So use all that is called Fortune. Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do thou leave as unlawful these winnings, and deal with Cause and Effect, the Chancellors of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The roses under my window make no reference to former roses or better ones they are what they are they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wisdom is like electricity. There is no permanently wise man, but men capable of wisdom, who, being put into certain company, or other favorable conditions, become wise for a short time, as glasses rubbed acquire electric power for a while.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis the privilege of Art Thus to play its cheerful part, Man on earth to acclimate And bend the exile to his fate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of action is the sentiment from which it proceeds. The greatest action may easily be one of the most private circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
