More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is sublime to think and say of another, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him: we need not reinforce ourselves, or send tokens of remembrance I rely on him as on myself: if he did thus and thus, I know it was right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyph to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life before he apprehends it as truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. Theuniverse is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief mourner does not always attend the funeral.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
