More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every individual man has a bias which he must obey, and...it is only as he feels and obeys this that he rightly develops and attains his legitimate power in the world. It is his magnetic needle, which points always in one direction to his proper path.... He is never happy nor strong until he finds it, keeps it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Get Health. No labor, effort nor exercise that can gain it must be grudged.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the divided or social state these functions are parcelled out to individuals, each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work, whilst each other performs his.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To eat bread is one thing to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Church seems to totter to its fall, almost all life extinct. On this occasion, any complaisance would be criminal which told you, whose hope and commission it is to preach the faith of Christ, that the faith of Christ is preached.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In good company, the individuals merge their egotism into a social soul exactly co-extensive with the several consciousnesses there present.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The gates of thought, - how slow and late they discover themselves! Yet when they appear, we see that they were always there, always open.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
