More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each ofthese works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken that act or step is the spiritual act all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's life is a progress, not a station.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be foregone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each of us sees in others what we carry in our own hearts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The element running through entire nature, which we popularly call Fate, is known to us as limitation. Whatever limits us, we callFate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Columbus discovered no isle or key so lonely as himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Learn from it... tomorrow is a new day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is the painter and the ear the singer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two in a thought, in a feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pleasure of eloquence is in greatest part owing often to the stimulus of the occasion which produces it- - to the magic of sympathy, which exalts the feeling of each by radiating on him the feeling of all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To accomplish excellence or anything outstanding, you must listen to that whisper which is heard by you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
