Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The regular course of studies, the years of academical and professional education, have not yielded me better facts than some idle books under the bench at the Latin School.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every book is good to read which sets the reader in a working mood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God has delegated himself to a million deputies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every landscape, the point of astonishment is the meeting of the sky and the earth, and that is seen from the first hillock aswell as from the top of the Alleghanies. The stars at night stoop down over the brownest, homeliest common, with all the spiritual magnificence which they shed on the Campagna, or on the marble deserts of Egypt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best of things if well used if abused, among the worst. They are good for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The people are to be taken in very small doses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speech is better than silence silence is better than speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody trips over mountains. It is the small pebble that causes you to stumble. Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. The mind does not create what it perceives, anymore than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The day is always his, who works in it with serenity and great aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is rich who owns the day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great is the art, Great be the manners, of the bard. He shall not his brain encumber With the coil of rhythm and number But, leaving rule and pale forethought, He shall aye climb For his rhyme. Pass in, pass in, the angels say
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
