Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
In analysing history do not be too profound, for often the causes are quite superficial.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest when they are sick or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused, when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is health in table talk and nursery play. We must wear old shoes and have aunts and cousins.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect... A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is unnecessarily long. Moments of insight, of fine personal relation, a smile, a glance,--what ample borrowers of eternity they are!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of health is fine disposition
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the end of human life? It is not, believe me, the chief end of man that he should make a fortune and beget children whose end is likewise to make a fortune, but it is, in few words, that he should explore himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aid we can give each other is only incidental, lateral, and sympathetic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are better than this theology.
