Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go where he will, the wise man is at home, His hearth the earth, his hall the azure dome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women, more than all, are the element and kingdom of illusion. Being fascinated, they fascinate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul contains the event that shall befall it, for the event is only the actualization of its thoughts and what we pray to ourselves for is always granted.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An expense of ends to means is fateMorganization tyrannizing over character. The menagerie, or forms and powers of the spine, is a book of fate: the bill of the bird, the skull of the snake, determines tyrannically its limits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do the thing and you will have the power. But they that do not the thing, had not the power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be foregone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is much better to learn the elements of geology, of botany, or ornithology and astronomy by word of mouth from a companion than dully from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we refine, our checks become finer. If we rise to spiritual culture, the antagonism takes a spiritual form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
