Image
The aristocrat is the democrat ripe, and gone to seed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The last change in our point of view gives the whole world a pictorial air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The secrets of life are not shown except to sympathy and likeness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The action of the soul is oftener in that which is felt and left unsaid than in that which is said in any conversation. It broods over every society, and men unconsciously seek for it in each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
What we seek we shall find what we flee from flees from us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul
