More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the red slayer think he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways, I keep and pass and turn again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration out there in history we can see its fatal strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature will not let us fret and fume. She does not like our benevolence or our learning much better than she likes our frauds andwars. When we come out of the caucus, or the bank, or the abolition-convention, or the temperance-meeting, or the transcendental club, into the fields and woods, she says to us, so hot? my little Sir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything runs to excess every good quality is noxious if unmixed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering Trade.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what we can, summer will have its flies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Few people have any next, they live from hand to mouth without a plan, and are always at the end of their line.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the world loves a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We over-estimate the conscience of our friend. His goodness seems better than our goodness, his nature finer, his temptations less. Everything that is his,--his name, his form, his dress, books, and instruments,--fancy enhances. Our own thought sounds new and larger from his mouth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a crack in everything God has made
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For each thorn, there's a rosebud... For each twilight - a dawn... For each trial - the strength to carry on, For each storm cloud - a rainbow... For each shadow - the sun... For each parting - sweet memories when sorrow is done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Discontent is want of self-reliance it is infirmity of will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not you see that every misfortune is misconduct that every honour is desert that every effort is an insolence of your own?...You carry your fortune in your own hand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever is old corrupts, and the past turns to snakes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdom which cannot help itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A poem is made up of thoughts, each of which filled the whole sky of the poet in its turn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not hesitate to read. all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable-any real insight or broad human sentiment.
