Cupid is a casuist, a mystic, and a cabalist,-- Can your lurking thought surprise, And interpret your device, . . . . All things wait for and divine him,-- How shall I dare to malign him?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I give you joy of your free and brave thought. I have great joy in it. I find incomparable things said incomparably well, as they must be. I find the courage of treatment which so delights us, and which large perception only can inspire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not be caught by the sensational in nature, as a coarse red-faced sunset, a garrulous waterfall, or a fifteen thousand foot mountain... avoid prettiness - the word looks much like pettiness - and there is but little difference between them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every time you wink the stars move.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind does not create what it perceives, any more than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we have learned from other becomes our own reflection.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man was born to be rich, or to inevitably grow rich, by the use of his faculties: by the union of thought with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We may be partial, but Fate is not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not hurt weak eyes to look into beautiful eyes never so long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
