More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good as is discourse, silence is better and shames it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret in education lies in respecting the student.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tragedy is in the eye of the observer, and not in the heart of the sufferer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a tendency in things to right themselves, and the war or revolution or bankruptcy that shatters rotten system, allows things to take a new and natural order.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first Muse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul contains the event that shall befall it, for the event is only the actualization of its thoughts and what we pray to ourselves for is always granted.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Read proudly--put the duty of being read invariably on the author. If he is not read, whose fault is it? I am quite ready to be charmed, but I shall not make-believe I am charmed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All sensible people are selfish, and nature is tugging at every contract to make the terms of it fair.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion one, fame, the other, desert one, feats, the other, humility one, lucre, the other, love one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what you're afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what we can, summer will have its flies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour and is not reminded of the flux of all things?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will, but pleasantly, and, as it were, merrily, he advancesto his own music, alike in frightful alarms and in the tipsy mirth of universal dissoluteness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
