More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The inmost in due time becomes the outmost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation but he shuts the door of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem, - a thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If it costs ten years, and ten to recover the general prosperity, the destruction of the South is worth so much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The truth, the hope of any time, must always be sought in minorities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is great but the inexhaustible wealth of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as the man is at one with God, he will not beg. He will then see prayer in all action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is a masked ball, where every one hides his real character, and reveals it by hiding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our health is our sound relation to external objects our sympathy with external being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
