More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We first share the life by which things exist, and afterwards see them as appearances in nature, and forget that we have shared their cause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of truth predominates . . . submits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinion but he is a candidate for truth . . . and respects the highest law of his being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our thinking is a pious reception.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole the wise silence the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related the eternal One.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry, she carries them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ocean is a large drop a drop is a small ocean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science surpasses the old miracles of mythology.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My garden is a forest ledge Which older forest s bound The banks slope down to the blue lake-edge, Then plunge to depths profound!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be madeby the reception of beautiful sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Luck is just another word for tenacity of purpose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look sharply after your own thoughts. They come unlooked for, like a new bird seen on your trees, and, if you turn to your usual task, disappear and you shall never find that perception again never, I say-but perhaps years, ages, and I know not what events and worlds my lie between you and its return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the symbol of Spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A rush of thoughts is the only conceivable prosperity that can come to us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
