More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole secret of the teacher's force lies in the conviction that men are convertible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imaginative faculty of the soul must be fed with objects immense and eternal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart!-it seems to say,-there is victory yet for all justice and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The borrower runs in his own debt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is eloquent once in his life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that death takes us away from ill things, not from good. I have heard that when we pronounce the name of man we pronounce the belief of immortality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn that God IS that he is in me and that all things are shadows of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have thought a sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world globes itself in a drop of dew.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I find that the Americans have no passions, they have appetites.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
