More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mark of a man of the world is absence of pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Haydn's oratorios, the notes present to the imagination not only motions, as, of the snake, the stag, and the elephant, but colors also as the green grass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word was once a poem. Every new relation is a new word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The picture waits for my verdict it is not to command me, but I am to settle its claim to praise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let there be worse cotton and better men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
