More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look sharply after your own thoughts. They come unlooked for, like a new bird seen on your trees, and, if you turn to your usual task, disappear and you shall never find that perception again never, I say-but perhaps years, ages, and I know not what events and worlds my lie between you and its return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In daily life what distinguishes the master is the using those materials he has, instead of looking about for what are more renowned, or what others have used well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eloquence shows the power and possibility of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not craze yourself with thinking, but go about your business anywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The boxer's ring is the enjoyment of the part of society whose animal nature alone has been developed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good nature is stronger than tomahawks.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
You can take better care of your secret than another can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the Sandwich Islander believes that the strength and valor of the enemy he kills passes into himself, so we gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thought makes free, so does the moral sentiment. The mixtures of spiritual chemistry refuse to be analyzed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The action of the soul is oftener in that which is felt and left unsaid than in that which is said in any conversation. It broods over every society, and men unconsciously seek for it in each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no doctrine of the Reason which will bear to be taught by the Understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our health is our sound relation to external objects our sympathy with external being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man's power is hooped in by a necessity, which, by many experiments, he touches on every side, until he learns its arc.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pest of society is egotists.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is virtue yet in the hoe and the spade, for learned as well as for unlearned hands. And labor is everywhere welcome alwayswe are invited to work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
