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
In a cabinet of natural history, we become sensible of a certain occult recognition and sympathy in regard to the most unwieldy and eccentric forms of beast, fish, and insect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Convert life into truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little fact is worth a whole limbo of dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In this great society wide lying around us, a critical analysis would find very few spontaneous actions. It is almost all custom and gross sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Aristotle and Plato are reckoned the respective heads of two schools. A wise man will see that Aristotle platonizes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is young: the former great men call to us affectionately. We too must write Bibles, to unite again the heavens and the earthly world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We say the cows laid out Boston. Well, there are worse surveyors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commonsense is the wick of the candle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wouldst thou shut up the avenues of ill, Pay every debt as if God wrote the bill.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't make a novel to establish a principle of political economy. You will spoil both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded every sacrifice is made up every debt is paid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An answer in words is delusive it is really no answer to the questions you ask.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
