More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is the best of artists.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Popularity is for dolls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without the great arts which speak to the sense of beauty, a man seems to me a poor, naked, shivering creature. These are his becoming draperies, which warm and adorn him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man cannot speak but he judges himself
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our expense is almost all for conformity. It is for cake that we run in debt 'tis not the intellect, not the heart, not beauty, not worship, that costs so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But what help from these fineries or pedantries? What help from thought? Life is not dialectics. We, I think, in these times, have had lessons enough of the futility of criticism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is like wildflowers It's often found in the most unlikely places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first lesson of history is that evil is good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it's dark enough men see stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People who know how to act are never preachers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your work should be in praise of what you love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful Jove young Phidias brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions. Challenge us with incessant affirmatives.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
