More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of sleeping a waking, Out of waking a sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set your own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us replace sentimentalism by realism and dare to uncover those simple and terrible laws which, be they seen or unseen, pervade and govern.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let every man shovel out his own snow and the whole city will be passable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If with love thy heart has burned If thy love is unreturned Hide thy grief within thy breast, Though it tear thee unexpressed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A fact is the end or last issue of spirit. The visible creation is the terminus or the circumference of the invisible world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Blessed are those who have no talent!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are dull and bright, sacred and profane, coarse and fine egotists. It is a disease that, like influenza, falls on all constitutions. In the distemper known to physicians as chorea, the patient sometimes turns round, and continues to spin slowly in one spot. Is egotism a metaphysical varioloid of this malady?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The colleges, while they provide us with libraries, furnish no professors of books and I think no chair is so much needed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gentleman is a man of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As men get on in life, they acquire a love for sincerity, and somewhat less solicitude to be lulled or amused. In the progress ofthe character, there is an increasing faith in the moral sentiment, and a decreasing faith in propositions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of feeling a poverty when we encounter a great man, let us treat the new comer like a travelling geologist, who passes through our estate, and shows us good slate, or limestone, or anthracite, in our brush pasture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should give us a sense of mass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
