More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As Arkwright and Whitney were the demi-gods of cotton, so prolific Time will yet bring an inventor to every plant. There is not a property in nature but a mind is born to seek and find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I now require this of all pictures, that they domesticate me, not that they dazzle me. Pictures must not be too picturesque. Nothing astonishes men so much as common-sense and plain dealing. All great actions have been simple, and all great pictures are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth endures Stars abide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prudence is the virtue of the senses. It is the science of appearances. It is the outmost action of the inward life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No facts to me are sacred none are profane.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our fear of death is like our fear that summer will be short, but when we have had our swing of pleasure, our fill of fruit, and our swelter of heat, we say we have had our day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, 'always do what you are afraid to do.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is all literature eavesdropping, and all art Chinese imitation? our life a custom, and our body borrowed, like a beggar’s dinner, from a hundred charities?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book written against fame and learning has the author's name on the title-page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much finer things are in composition than alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a greater joy to see the author's author, than himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is the hope of the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
