More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. Always, always, always, always, always do what you are afraid to do. Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is the hope of the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no person can sincerely try to help another without helping him or herself. Serve and you shall be served. If you love and serve people, you cannot, by any hiding or stratagem, escape the remuneration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Discontent is want of self-reliance it is infirmity of will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All science has one aim, namely, to find a theory of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest discoveries are those that shed light unto ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry must be as new as foam and as old as the rock.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to mend the bad world is to create the right world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Congratulate yourself if you have done something strange, extravagant and broken the monotony.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
