In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions, because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the toughfibre of the human heart. The laws of friendship are austere and eternal, of one web with the laws of nature and of morals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent may frolic and juggle genius realizes and adds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For flowers that bloom about our feet For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet For song of bird, and hum of bee For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation but he shuts the door of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The need for a rational consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I DO not count the hours I spend In wandering by the sea The forest is my loyal friend, Like God it useth me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universal does not attract us until housed in an individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing in nature is exhausted in its first use...In God, every end is converted into a new means.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the ignorant and childish part of mankind that is the fighting part. Idle and vacant minds want excitement
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The great make its feel, first of all, the indifference of circumstances. They call into activity the higher perceptions, and subdue the low habits of comfort and luxury but the higher perceptions find their objects everywhere only the low habits need palaces and banquets.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A song is no song unless the circumstance is free and fine. If a singer sing from a sense of duty or from seeing no way to escape,I had rather have none. Those only can sleep who do not care to sleep and those only write or speak best who do not too much respect the writing or the speaking.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There comes a time in each man's education in which he comes to the conclusion that envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide, and society in in conspiracy against each one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spurious prudence, making the senses final, is the god of sots and cowards, and is the subject of all comedy. It is nature's joke, and therefore literature's. True prudence limits this sensualism by admitting the knowledge of an internal and real world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The next best thing to saying a good thing yourself is to quote one.
