More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it's dark enough men see stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I quote another man's saying unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your work should be in praise of what you love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All public facts are to be individualized, all private facts are to be generalized.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And striving to be Man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finished man of the world must eat of every apple once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a part and parcel of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind will quote whether the tongue does or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
