More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I take this evanescence and lubricity of all objects, which lets them slip through our fingers then when we clutch hardest, to be the most unhandsome part of our condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Was never secret history but birds tell it in the bowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,--and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial they are notequal to the work they pretend. They lose their way in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some people will tell you there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah, if the rich were rich as the poor fancy riches.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat: up again, old heart!-it seems to say,-there is victory yet for all justice and the true romance which the world exists to realize, will be the transformation of genius into practical power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I remember the thought which occurred to me when some ingenious and spiritual foreigners came to America, was, Have you been victimized in being brought hither?--or, prior to that, answer me this, Are you victimizable?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The most Indian thing about the Indian is surely not his moccasins or his calumet, his wampum or his stone hatched, but traits of character and sagacity, skill, or passion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is due to the triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is saying what is in your heart, because it's in everyone's heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Get Health. No labor, effort nor exercise that can gain it must be grudged.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that can be done for you is nothing to what you can do for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All are needed by each one Nothing is fair or good alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
