More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The masters painted for joy, and knew not that virtue had gone out of them. They could not paint the like in cold blood. The masters of English lyric wrote their songs so. It was a fine efflorescence of fine powers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The clergyman who lives in the city may have piety, but he must have taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women, as most susceptible, are the best index of the coming hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is a divine dream, from which we may presently awake to the glories and certainties of day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes we receive the power to say yes to life. Then peace enters us and makes us whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luck is just another word for tenacity of purpose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commerce is a game of skill which everyone cannot play and few can play well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man's eye is on the Eternal, his intellect will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a dog is chasing after you, whistle for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
O friend, never strike sail to a fear!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
