Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A life in harmony with nature, the love of truth and virtue, will purge the eyes to understanding her text.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents. A transcendent talent draws so largely on his forces as tolame him a defect pays him revenues on the other side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Underneath the inharmonious and trivial particulars, is a musical perfection, the Ideal journeying always with us, the heaven without rent or seam.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is always childish, and with each new gewgaw of a revolution or new constitution that it finds, thinks it shall never cry any more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world globes itself in a drop of dew.
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
What matters most is not what is behind us or before us, but what is within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
