More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man was born to be rich, or to inevitably grow rich, by the use of his faculties: by the union of thought with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession', for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He has not one chance, but a hundred chances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every situation do the thing you fear. If you do the thing you fear, the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought makes everything fit for use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is hard to mesmerize ourselves, to whip our own top but through sympathy we are capable of energy and endurance. Concert fires people to a certain fury of performance they can rarely reach alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Always, always, always, always, always do what you are afraid to do. Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose language is strong and defying enough, yet their eyes and their actions ask leave of other men to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now every one must do after his kind, be he asp or angel, and these must.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that despiseth small things will perish by little and little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men's necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the farmer casts into the ground the finest ears of his grain, the time will come when we too shall hold nothing back, but shall eagerly convert more than we now possess into means and powers, when we shall be willing to sow the sun and the moon for seeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The less a man thinks or knows about his virtues, the better we like him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
