More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universal does not attract us until housed in an individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person who goes around saying nice things about you behind your back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat self control is the rule. Anger is an uncontrollable feeling that betrays what you are when you are not yourself. Anger is that powerful internal force that blows out the light of reason. Know this to be the enemy: it is anger, born of desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride ruined the angels, Their shame them restores And the joy that is sweetest Lurks in stings of remorse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henceforth, please God, forever I forego the yolk of men's opinions. I will be light-hearted as a bird and live with God. I find him in the bottom of my heart, and I hear continually his voice therein.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be yourself no base imitator of another, but your best self.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our expense is almost all for conformity. It is for cake that we run in debt 'tis not the intellect, not the heart, not beauty, not worship, that costs so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the night is darkest, the stars come out.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health and appetite impart the sweetness to sugar, bread and meat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we could have any security against moods! If the profoundest prophet could be holden to his words, and the hearer who is readyto sell all and join the crusade, could have any certificate that to-morrow his prophet shall not unsay his testimony!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house praises the carpenter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are disgusted by gossip yet it is of importance to keep the angels in their proprieties.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense reappears today with the same morning newness that has been from of old the fountain of beauty and strength. You say there is no religion now. 'Tis like saying in rainy weather, There is no sun, when at that moment we are witnessing one of its superlative effects.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
