More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All mankind love a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes we receive the power to say yes to life. Then peace enters us and makes us whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People are timid and apologetic they are no longer upright they dare not say I think, I am, but quote some saint or sage. They are ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose. These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones they are for what they are they exist with God to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am Defeated all the time, yet to Victory I am born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The clergyman who lives in the city may have piety, but he must have taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Delicious is a just and firm encounter of two in a thought, in a feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We grant no dukedoms to the few, We hold like rights and shall Equal on Sunday in the pew, On Monday in the mall. For what avail the plough or sail, Or land, or life, if freedom fail?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of the Shaker society, it was formerly a sort of proverb in the country, that they always sent the devil to market.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do that which you fear to do, and the fear will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The flowering of civilization is the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power--the gentleman.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No great man ever complains of want of opportunity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
More than the diamond Koh-i-noor, which glitters among their crown jewels, they prize the dull pebble which is wiser than a man, whose poles turn themselves to the poles of the world, and whose axis is parallel to the axis of the world. Now, their toys are steam and galvanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The need for a rational consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
