More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We read often with as much talent as we write.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded every sacrifice is made up every debt is paid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among the map makers of each generation are the risk takers, those who see the opportunities, seize the moment and expand man's vision of the future
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage (in what is called the spiritual world) is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The two terrors that discourage creativity and creative living are fear of public opinion and undue reverence for one's own consistency.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the divided or social state these functions are parcelled out to individuals, each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work, whilst each other performs his.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as a child has left the room his strewn toys become affecting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sermon which I write inquisitive of truth is good a year after, but that which is written because a sermon must be writ is musty the next day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But I shall hear without pain, that I play the courtier very ill, and talk of that which I do not well understand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He only is right who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded by worry, fret and anxiety. Finish every day, and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the existing world is not a dream, and cannot with impunity be treated as a dream neither is it a disease but it is the ground on which you stand, it is the mother of whom you were born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being well dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquility which religion is powerless to bestow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
