More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A part of fate is the freedom of man. Forever wells up the impulse of choosing and acting in his soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem the shepherd, his lamb the farmer, corn the miner, a stone the painter, his picture the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is not so much threatened as our perception. Ghostlike we glide through nature, and should not know our place again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether their be any who understand it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis curious that we only believe as deeply as we live.
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
We fancy men are individuals so are pumpkins but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
