More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Free should be the scholar - free and brave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You think me the child of circumstance I make my circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My doom and my strength is to be solitary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eyes...They speak all languages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am become a transparent eyeball.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People only see what they are prepared to see. If you look for what is good and what you can be grateful for you will find it everywhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The noblest ministry of nature is to stand as the apparition of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In England every man you meet is some man's son in America, he may be some man's father.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us advance on Chaos and the Dark
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining forthe metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do your work, but do your thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a man does not write his poetry, it escapes by other vents through him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
