More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
My life is superficial, takes no root in the deep world I ask, When shall I die, and be relieved of the responsibility of seeinga Universe which I do not use? I wish to exchange this flash-of-lightning faith for continuous daylight, this fever-glow for a benign climate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think sometimes could I only have music on my own terms, could I live in a great city, and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves, that were a bath and a medicine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
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

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of health is fine disposition
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Have mountains, and waves, and skies, no significance but what we consciously give them, when we employ them as emblems of our thoughts?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of making Christianity a vehicle of truth, you make truth only a horse for Christianity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect and poets by nature, these we love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An empire is an immense egotism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not spill thy soul in running hither and yon, grieving over the mistakes and the vices of others. The one person whom it is most necessary to reform is yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is dead: men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals and mournful obituaries, and there they stand looking out ofthe window, sound and well, in some new and strange disguise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But when you have chosen your part, abide by it, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
