More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue. . . .
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cynic can chill and dishearten with a single word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is doubtless a vice to turn one's eyes inward too much, but I am my own comedy and tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He, who loves the bristle of bayonets, only sees in their glitter what beforehand he feels in his hand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For all symbols are fluxional all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Insist on yourself. Never imitate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fractures well cured make us more strong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live well, learn plenty, laugh often, love much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Converse with a mind that is grandly simple, and literature looks like word-catching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The simplicity of the universe is very different from the simplicity of a machine. The simplicity of nature is not that which may be easily read but is inexhaustible. The last analysis can no wise be made.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Find the journey's end in every step.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must ride alternately on the horses of his private and his public nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face, until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened then we behold them, and the time when we saw them not is like a dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a principle which is the basis of things, which all speech aims to say, and all action to evolve, a simple, quiet, undescribed, undescribable presence, dwelling very peacefully in us, our rightful lord: we are not to do, but to let do not to work, but to be worked upon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gentleman is a man of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some eyes threaten like a loaded and levelled pistol, and others are as insulting as hissing or kicking some have no more expression than blueberries, while others are as deep as a well which you can fall into.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
