Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is rich who owns the day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All persons are puzzles until at last we find in some word or act the key to the man, to the woman straightway all their past words and actions lie in light before us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is the will, and woman the sentiment. In this ship of humanity, Will is the rudder, and Sentiment the sail when woman affects to steer, the rudder is only a masked sail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Flowers are the earth laughing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I remember the thought which occurred to me when some ingenious and spiritual foreigners came to America, was, Have you been victimized in being brought hither?--or, prior to that, answer me this, Are you victimizable?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The nobler the truth or sentiment, the less imports the question of authorship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Plant your DREAMS and miracles will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every thing admonishes us how needlessly long life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism... It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
