More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of mental health is the disposition to find good everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover is made happier by his love than the object of his affection.

Body cannot teach wisdom God only.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we are, so we do and as we do, so is it done to us we are the builders of our fortunes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's actions are the picture book of his creeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know that madness belongs to love,--what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strenuous soul hates cheap success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The terrors of the child are quite reasonable, and add to his loveliness for his utter ignorance and weakness, and his enchanting indignation on such a small basis of capital compel every bystander to take his part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one mind common to all individual men
Ralph Waldo Emerson
