More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shows of the day, the dewy morning, the rainbow, mountains, orchards in blossom, stars, moonlight, shadows in still water, andthe like, if too eagerly hunted, become shows merely, and mock us with their unreality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Gold and iron are good To buy iron and gold.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And dazzling memory revive.Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures, with the pen Which, on the first day, drew Upon the tablets blue The dancing Pleiads, and the eternal men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
You cannot institute, without peril of charlatanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must but coop up most men and you undo them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is a divine dream, from which we may presently awake to the glories and certainties of day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is the perennial miracle which the soul worketh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that rides his hobby gently must always give way to him that rides his hobby hard.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
