More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
You are constantly invited to be what you are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The believing we do something when we do nothing is the first illusion of tobacco.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I covet truth beauty is unripe childhood's cheat I leave it behind with the games of youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vocabulary of an omniscient man would embrace words and images excluded from polite conversation. What would be base, or even obscene, to the obscene, becomes illustrious, spoken in a new connexion of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beside all the small reasons we assign, there is a great reason for the existence of every extant fact a reason which lies grandand immovable, often unsuspected behind it in silence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An English family consists of a few persons, who, from youth to age, are found revolving within a few feet of each other, as if tied by some invisible ligature, tense as that cartilage which we have seen attaching the two Siamese.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the vain speaker has sat down, and the people say 'what a good speech,' it still takes an ounce to balance an ounce.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always safety in valor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is too thin a screen the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To Be is to live with God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No performance is worth loss of geniality. 'Tis a cruel price we pay for certain fancy goods called fine arts and philosophy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our strength grows out of our weakness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude, of giving and forgiving. Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Very few of our race can be said to be yet finished men. We still carry sticking to us some remains of the preceding inferior quadruped organization. We call these millions men but they are not yet men. Half-engaged in the soil, pawing to get free, man needs all the music that can be brought to disengage him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We might as easily reprove the east wind, or the frost, as a political party, whose members, for the most part, could give no account of their position, but stand for the defence of those interests in which they find themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
