More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not hurt weak eyes to look into beautiful eyes never so long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Solvency is maintained by means of a national debt, on the principle, If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an engineer, but he is all. Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every really able man, in whatever direction he works - a man of large affairs, an inventor, a statesman, an orator, a poet, a painter - if you talk sincerely with him, considers his work, however much admired, as far short of what it should be. What is this Better, this flying Ideal, but the perpetual promise of his Creator?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is man born for but to be a Reformer, a Remaker of what man has made? A renouncer of lies a restorer of truth and good? Imitating that great Nature which embossoms us all, and which sleeps no moment on an old past, but every hour repairs herself, yielding us every morning a new day, with every breath a new life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The forest is my loyal friend A Delphic shrine to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We never touch but at points.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There comes a period of the imagination to each--a later youth--the power of beauty, the power of looks, of poetry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where there is no vision a people perish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Freedom is not the right to live as we please, but the right to find how we ought to live in order to fulfill our potential.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is March weather, savage and serene in one hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is a game of circles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
