More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy. ... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye it transcends speech it is the bodily symbol of identity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of a man's wisdom by his hope, knowing that the inexhaustibleness of nature is an immortal youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Find the journey's end in every step.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. He only is right who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded by worry, fret and anxiety. Finish every day, and be done with it. You have done what you could.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the night is darkest, the stars come out.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What matters most is not what is behind us or before us, but what is within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Money often costs too much, and power and pleasure are not cheap.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We may climb into the thin and cold realm of pure geometry and lifeless science, or sink into that of sensation. Between these extremes is the equator of life, of thought, or spirit, or poetry,--a narrow belt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is a divine dream, from which we may presently awake to the glories and certainties of day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I quote another man's saying unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good indignation makes an excellent speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each age, it is found, must write its own books or rather, each generation for the next succeeding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not out of those, on whom systems of education have exhausted their culture, comes the helpful giant to destroy the old or to build the new, but out of unhandselled savage nature, out of terrible Druids and Berserkirs, come at last Alfred and Shakespeare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a remedy for every wrong and a satisfaction for every soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
