Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the bookworm. Hence, the book-learned class, who value books, as such not as related to nature and the human constitution, but as making a sort of Third Estate with the world and the soul. Hence, the restorers of readings, the emendators, the bibliomaniacs of all degrees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It the proof of high culture to say the greatest matters in the simplest way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The solid, solid universe Is pervious to Love With bandaged eyes he never errs, Around, below, above. His blinding light He flingeth white On God's and Satan's brood, And reconciles By mystic wiles The evil and the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We call the beautiful the highest, because it appears to us the golden mean, escaping the dowdiness of the good and the heartlessness of the true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
