More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power and speed be hands and feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant. Now we reckon them as bank-days, by some debt which is to be paid us, or which we are to pay, or some pleasure we are to taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We pass for what we are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart. They serve nature for bread, but her loveliness overcomes them sometimes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the resolute and determined, there is time and opportunity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The problem of restoring to the world original and eternal beauty is solved by redemption of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins.

Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The customer is the immediate jewel of our souls. Him we flatter, him we feast, compliment, vote for, and will not contradict.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We may be partial, but Fate is not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The House ...She lays her beams in music, In music everyone, To the cadence of the whirling world Which dances around the sun- That so they shall not be displaced By lapses or by wars, But for the love of happy souls Outlive the newest stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of the Shaker society, it was formerly a sort of proverb in the country, that they always sent the devil to market.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
