More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
How can he [today's writer] be honored, when he does not honor himself when he loses himself in the crowd when he is no longer the lawgiver, but the sycophant, ducking to the giddy opinion of a reckless public.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any work looks wonderful to me except the one which I can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
People wish to be settled only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never read any book that is not a year old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I can believe a miracle because I can raise my own arm. I can believe a miracle because I can remember. I can believe it because I can speak and be understood by you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great men come out of the middle classes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am become a transparent eyeball.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover is made happier by his love than the object of his affection.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not to dwell on dreams and forget to live, but it is equally foolish to ignore the past – never forget.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
