More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of immortality, the soul, when well employed, is incurious. It is so well, that it is sure that it will be well. It asks no questions of the Supreme Power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful is never plentiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is good, but intellect is better, as the law-giver is before the law-receiver.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the symbol of Spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know that madness belongs to love,--what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is so perfect, the engineer is nobody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The population of the world is a conditional population these are not the best, but the best that could live in the existing state of soils, gases, animals, and morals: the best that could yet live there shall be a better, please God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdom which cannot help itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How silent, how spacious, what room for all, yet without place to insert an atom--in graceful succession, in equal fullness, in balanced beauty, the dance of the hours goes forward still. Like an odor of incense, like a strain of music, like a sleep, it is inexact and boundless. It will not be dissected, nor unraveled, nor shown.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what you're afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not belong to her train, and seldom wastes her attentions. Society is very swift in its instincts, and if you do not belong to it, resists and sneers at you, or quietly drops you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should we be cowed by the name of Action?.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The charm of the best courages is that they are inventions, inspirations, flashes of genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is civilization? I answer, the power of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
