More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is the hope of the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prayers are prophets.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Gothic cathedral affirms that it was done by us and not done by us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Underneath the inharmonious and trivial particulars, is a musical perfection, the Ideal journeying always with us, the heaven without rent or seam.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man lose his balance, and immerse himself in any trades or pleasures for their own sake, he may be a good wheel or pin, but he is not a cultivated man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of a man increases steadily by continuance in one direction. He becomes acquainted with the resistances and with his own tools increases his skill and strength and learns the favorable moments and favorable accidents.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
