More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is civilization? I answer, the power of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So in writing, there is always a right word, and every other than that is wrong. There is no beauty in words except in their collocation. The effect of a fanciful word misplaced, is like that of a horn of exquisite polish growing on a human head.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all hours, and will speak five times from their taste or their humor, to once from their reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is like wildflowers It's often found in the most unlikely places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
American mind a wilderness of opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what you're afraid to do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ocean is a large drop a drop is a small ocean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot overstate our debt to the Past, but the moment has the supreme claim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When good is near you, when you have life in yourself, it is not by any known or accustomed way you shall not discern the foot-prints of any other you shall not see the face of man you shall not hear any name the way, the thought, the good, shall be wholly strange and new. It shall exclude example and experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should the way I feel depend on the thoughts in someone else's head?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well. In our condition of universal dependence, it seems heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
