More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him go where he will, he can only find so much beauty or worth as he carries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Headwinds are sore vexations and the more passengers the sorer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the first place, all books that get fairly into the vital air of the world were written by the successful class, by the affirming and advancing class, who utter what tens of thousands feel though they cannot say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Teach me your mood, O patient stars. Who climb each night, the ancient sky. leaving on space no shade, no scars, no trace of age, no fear to die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hume's doctrine was that the circumstances vary, the amount of happiness does not that the beggar cracking fleas in the sunshine under a hedge, and the duke rolling by in his chariot, the girl equipped for her first ball, and the orator returning triumphant from the debate, had different means, but the same quantity of pleasant excitement.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is never a beginning, there is never an end, to the inexplicable continuity of this web of God, but always circular power returning into itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the doctrine of the popular music-masters, that whoever can speak can sing. So, probably, every man is eloquent once in his life. Our temperaments differ in capacity of heat, or
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of each are convertible into the laws of any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is easily frightened.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet a man may love a paradox, without losing either his wit or his honesty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mankind have such a deep stake in inward illumination, that there is much to be said by the hermit or monk in defence of his life of thought and prayer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man sheds grief as his skin sheds rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I grieve that grief can teach me nothing, nor carry me one step into real nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
