More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a luxury to be understood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

It seems as if nature, in regarding the geologic night behind her, when, in five or six millenniums, she had turned out five or six men, as Homer, Phidias, Menu, and Columbus, was no wise discontented with the result. These samples attested the virtue of the tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever there is failure, there is some giddiness, some superstition about luck, some step omitted, which, Nature never pardons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As men's prayers are a disease of the will, so are their creeds a disease of the intellect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pay no heed to the average photographer's remarks upon flat and weak negatives. Probably he is flat, weak, stale, and unprofitable your negative may be first-rate, and probably is if he does not approve of it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Guard your own spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is easily frightened.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave for 10 minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life, and someday he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous, and life in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best of things, well used abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
