More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we call results are beginnings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal powers, souls are now acting, enduring and daring, which can love us, and which we can love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is the perennial miracle which the soul worketh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who does not sometimes envy the good and the brave, who are no more to suffer from the tumults of the natural world, and await with curious complacency the speedy term of his own conversation with finite nature?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men of sense esteem wealth to be the assimilation of nature to themselves, the converting of the sap and juices of the planet to the incarnation and nutriment of their design.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A beautiful woman is a practical poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The worst of charity is that the lives you are asked to preserve are not worth preserving.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man sheds grief as his skin sheds rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are adapted to infinity. We are hard to please, and love nothing which ends: and in nature is no end but every thing, at the end of one use, is lifted into a superior, and the ascent of these things climbs into daemonic and celestial natures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the race is good, so is the place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All mankind love a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
