More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one topic peremptorily forbidden to all well-bred, to all rational mortals, namely, their distempers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall forbid a wise skepticism, seeing that there is no practical question on which anything more than an approximate solution can be had?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is quite beautiful alone nothing but is beautiful in the whole. A single object is only so far beautiful as it suggests this universal grace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life itself is ... a sleep within a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Skepticism? Yes, but a saint is a skeptic once in twenty-four hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Walking has the best value as gymnastics of the mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Flowers are the earth laughing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And dazzling memory revive.Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures, with the pen Which, on the first day, drew Upon the tablets blue The dancing Pleiads, and the eternal men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When all shoot at one mark, the gods join in the combat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The South-wind brings Life, sunshine and desire, And on every mount and meadow Breathes aromatic fire But over the dead he has no power, The lost, the lost, he cannot restore And, looking over the hills, I mourn The darling who shall not return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest Beauty should be plain set.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the devils respect virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
