More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where do we find ourselves? In a series of which we do not know the extremes, and believe that it has none. We wake and find ourselves on a stair there are stairs below us, which we seem to have ascended there are stairs above us, many a one, which go upward and out of sight.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must but coop up most men and you undo them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women see better than men. Men see lazily, if they do not expect to act. Women see quite without any wish to act.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every advantage has its tax.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is only rich who owns the day. There is no king, rich man, fairy, or demon who possesses such power as that.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You are constantly invited to be what you are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The dearest events are summer-rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the vaunted works of Art, The master-stroke is Nature's part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live ruins amid ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When science is learned in love, and its powers are wielded by love, they will appear the supplements and continuations of the material creation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
