More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tomorrow is a new day begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
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
I pay the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys that educate my son.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The student is to read history actively and not passively to esteem his own life the text, and books the commentary. Thus compelled, the muse of history will utter oracles as never to those who do not respect themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A feeble man can see the farms that are fenced and tilled, the houses that are built. The strong man sees the possible houses and farms. His eye makes estates as fast as the sun breeds clouds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But there are higher secrets of culture, which are not for the apprentices, but for proficients. These are lessons only for the brave. We must know our friends under ugly masks. The calamities are our friends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By virtue of the Deity thought renews itself inexhaustibly every day and the thing whereon it shines, though it were dust and sand, is a new subject with countless relations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the bookworm. Hence, the book-learned class, who value books, as such not as related to nature and the human constitution, but as making a sort of Third Estate with the world and the soul. Hence, the restorers of readings, the emendators, the bibliomaniacs of all degrees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We acquire the strength we have overcome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The picture waits for my verdict it is not to command me, but I am to settle its claim to praise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatize or accept another's dogmatism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are for nothing but to inspire
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People forget that it is the eye which makes the horizon, and the rounding mind's eye which makes this or that man a type or representative of humanity with the name of hero or saint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us advance on Chaos and the Dark
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a channel through which heaven floweth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
