More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history isto be read and written.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each ofthese works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken that act or step is the spiritual act all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We stand against fate, as children stand up against the wall in their father's house, and notch their height from year to year. But when the boy grows to a man, and is master of the house, he pulls down that wall and builds it new and bigger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas, sometimes with chisel on stone, sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul's worship is builded sometimes in anthems of indefinite music, but clearest and most permanent, in words.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who has money to go over it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health, south wind, books, old trees, a boat, a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who live to the future must always appear selfish to those who live to the present.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature tells every secret once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour and is not reminded of the flux of all things?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that can be done for you is nothing to what you can do for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities force growth and make men talkative and entertaining, but they make them artificial. What possesses interest for us is thenatural of each, his constitutional excellence. This is forever a surprise, engaging and lovely we cannot be satiated with knowing it, and about it and it is this which the conversation with Nature cherishes and guards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our health is our sound relation to external objects our sympathy with external being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day is a miniature eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A beautiful woman is a practical poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only prudence in life is concentration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
