Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
So much of our time is spent in preparation, so much in routine, and so much in retrospect, that the amount of each person's genius is confined to a very few hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person who goes around saying nice things about you behind your back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Throw a stone into the stream and the ripples that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of all influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

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
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has no memory. That which proceeds in succession might be remembered, but that which is coexistent, or ejaculated from a deeper cause, as yet far from being conscious, knows not its own tendency.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A weed is a plant we've found no use for yet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proportion is almost impossible to human beings. There is no one who does not exaggerate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The landscape belongs to the person who looks at it... -Ralph Waldo Emerson
