More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not make himself manifest to cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
O friend, never strike sail to a fear! Come into port greatly, or sail with God the seas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us advance on Chaos and the Dark
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is the perennial miracle which the soul worketh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Looking at God instantly reduces our disposition to dissent from our brother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Although this garrulity of advising is born with us, I confess that life is rather a subject of wonder, than of didactics. So muchfate, so much irresistible dictation from temperament and unknown inspiration enter into it, that we doubt we can say anything out of our own experience whereby to help each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a boundless privilege, and when you pay for your ticket, and get into the car, you have no guess what good company you shall find there.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The doctrine of Necessity or Destiny is the doctrine of Toleration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
