More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It the proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For what are they all in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A certain awkwardness marks the use of borrowed thoughts but as soon as we have learned what to do with them, they become our own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A gentleman makes no noise a lady is serene.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We walk alone in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
New York is a sucked orange. All conversation is at an end, when we have discharged ourselves of a dozen personalities, domestic or imported, which make up our American existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities of mortals woe-begone Fantastic care derides, But in the serious landscape lone Stern benefit abides.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another sort of false prayers are our regrets. Discontent is the way of self-reliance: it is infirmity of will. Regret calamities, if you can thereby help the sufferer if not, attend your own work, and already the evil begins to be repaired.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Find the journey's end in every step.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orator or author is never successful till he has learned to make his words smaller than his ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only those books come down which deserve to last . All the gilt edges, vellum and morocco, all the presentation copies to all the libraries will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart. They serve nature for bread, but her loveliness overcomes them sometimes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Words are alive. Cut them and they bleed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For flowers that bloom about our feet For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet For song of bird, and hum of bee For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
