I honor health as the first muse, and sleep as the condition of health. Sleep benefits mainly by the sound health it produces incidentally also by dreams, into whose farrago a divine lesson is sometimes slipped.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our expense is almost all for conformity. It is for cake that we run in debt 'tis not the intellect, not the heart, not beauty, not worship, that costs so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like a man who likes to see a fine barn as well as a good tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest when they are sick or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused, when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a series of surprises.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The end of being is to know and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days are made on a loom whereof the warp and woof are past and future time. They are majestically dressed, as if every god brought a thread to the skyey web.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Unhappily, no man exists who has not in his own person become, to some amount, a stockholder in the sin, and so made himself liable to a share in the expiation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us, if we must have great actions, make our own so. All action is of infinite elasticity, and the least admits of being inflated with celestial air, until it eclipses the sun and moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crowning fortune of a man is to be born to some pursuit which finds him employment and happiness, whether it be to make baskets, or broadswords, or canals, or statues, or songs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the fine souls who serve us, and not what is called fine society. Fine society is only a self-protection against the vulgarities of the street and the tavern.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
At times the whole world seems to be in conspiracy to importune you with emphatic trifles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imitation cannot go above its model.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the symbol of Spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you take in a lie, you must take in all that belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give me insight into today and you may have the antique and future worlds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is excellent, As God lives, is permanent Hearts are dust, hearts' loves remain, Heart's love will meet thee again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
