More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it comes to divide an estate, the politest men quarrel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action. What they have done commits and enforces them to do the same again. The first act, which was to be an experiment, becomes a sacrament.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The great will not condescend to take anything seriously.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is a jealous mistress and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul refuses limits and always affirms an optimism, never a pessimism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The writer, like a priest, must be exempted from secular labor. His work needs a frolic health he must be at the top of his condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every individual man has a bias which he must obey, and...it is only as he feels and obeys this that he rightly develops and attains his legitimate power in the world. It is his magnetic needle, which points always in one direction to his proper path.... He is never happy nor strong until he finds it, keeps it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rude poets of the tavern hearth, squandering your unquoted mirth, which keeps the ground, and never soars, while jake retorts, and reuben roars tough and screaming, as birch-bark, goes like bullet to its mark while the solid curse and jeer never balk the waiting ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is he who is immovably centered.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the race is good, so is the place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
