More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought makes everything fit for use.
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
It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a capacity of virtue in us, and there is a capacity of vice to make your blood creep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The education of the will is the object of our existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sport is the bloom and glow of a perfect health. The great will not condescend to take anything seriously all must be as gay as the song of a canary, though it were the building of cities, or the eradication of old and foolish churches and nations, which have cumbered the earth long thousands of years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much of human life is lost in waiting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An empire is an immense egotism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aspect of nature is devout. Like the figure of Jesus, she stands with bended head, and hands folded upon the breast. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He thought it happier to be dead, To die for Beauty, than live for bread
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are ashamed of our thoughts and often see them brought forth by others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only poetry inspires poetry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in the view of absolute goodness, adores, with total humility. Every step downward, is a step upward. The man who renounceshimself, comes to himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a man thinks happily, he finds no foot-track in the field he traverses. All spontaneous thought is irrespective of all else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Begin and proceed on a settled conviction that but little is permitted to any man to do or to know, and if he complies with the first grand laws, he shall do well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
