More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life loiters at the book's first page,-- Ah! could we turn the leaf.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
That you are fair or wise is vain, Or strong, or rich, or generous You must have also the untaught strain That sheds beauty on the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Between cultivated minds the first interview is the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man passes his life in the search after friendship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Classics which at home are drowsily read have a strange charm in a country inn, or in the transom of a merchant brig.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
