More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship requires more time than poor busy men can usually command.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded. It is a doctrine alike of the oldest and of the newest philosophy, that man is one, and that you cannot injure any member, without a sympathetic injury to all the members
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one soul which animates all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Painting was called silent poetry and poetry speaking painting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What you do thunders above your head so loudly, I cannot hear the words you speak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ever fresh the broad creation, A divine improvisation, From the heart of God proceeds, A single will, a million deeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
