More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is secure but life, transition, the energizing spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The philosophy of waiting is sustained by all the oracles of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adult males are what their moms designed them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humility is the secret of the wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
