Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest Beauty should be plain set.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven sometimes hedges a rare character about with ungainliness and odium, as the burr that protects the fruit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Discontent is want of self-reliance it is infirmity of will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the dissenter, the theorist, the aspirant, who is quitting this ancient domain to embark on seas of adventure, who engages our interest. Omitting then for the present all notice of the stationary class, we shall find that the movement party divides itself into two classes, the actors, and the students.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The city is recruited from the country.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Natural religion supplies still all the facts which are disguised under the dogma of popular creeds. The progress of religion is steadily to its identity with morals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one mind common to all individual men
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a search after power and this is an element with which the world is so saturated,-there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged,-that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no person can sincerely try to help another without helping him or herself. Serve and you shall be served. If you love and serve people, you cannot, by any hiding or stratagem, escape the remuneration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Honor and fortune exist for him who always recognizes the neighborhood of the great, always feels himself in the presence of high causes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Haydn's oratorios, the notes present to the imagination not only motions, as, of the snake, the stag, and the elephant, but colors also as the green grass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
