More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-command is the main elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let no one honour me with tears, or bury me with lamentation. Why? Because I fly hither and thither, living in the mouths of me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look out! Behind you!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another sort of false prayers are our regrets. Discontent is the way of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will. Regret calamities, if you can thereby help the sufferer if not, attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People forget that it is the eye which makes the horizon, and the rounding mind's eye which makes this or that man a type or representative of humanity with the name of hero or saint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men achieve a certain greatness unawares when working to another aim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The connection between our knowledge and the abyss of being is still real, and the explication must be not less magnificent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in pursuit of greatness feels no little wants.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perception is a mirror not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is saying what is in your heart, because it's in everyone's heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is made of the same atoms the world is, he shares the same impressions, predispositions, and destiny. When his mind is illuminated, when his heart is kind, he throws himself joyfully into the sublime order, and does, with knowledge, what the stones do by structure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We say the cows laid out Boston. Well, there are worse surveyors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature tells every secret once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Youth is everywhere in place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
