More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character wants room must not be crowded on by persons, nor be judged from glimpses got in the press of affairs, or on few occasions. It needs perspective, as a great building.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is commonly observed that a sudden wealth, like a prize drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not permanently enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the rapid wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny, and the treasure is quickly dissipated.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat self-control is the rule.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All reform aims, in some one particular, to let the soul have its way through us in other words, to engage us to obey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are for nothing but to inspire
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fate is unpenetrated causes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
