More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which dominates our imagination and our thoughts will determine our life and character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Housekeeping is not beautiful it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child neither the host nor the guestit oppresses women. A house kept to the end of prudence is laborious without joy a house kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man's skin, - seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If in the least particular, one could derange the order of nature, who would accept the gift of life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Yankee is one who, if he once gets his teeth set on a thing, all creation can't make him let go.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the fine souls who serve us, and not what is called fine society. Fine society is only a self-protection against the vulgarities of the street and the tavern.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Words are alive. Cut them and they bleed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a dull mind all of nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is an esoteric doctrine of society, that a little wickedness is good to make muscle as if conscience were not good for hands and legs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am Defeated all the time, yet to Victory I am born.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never read any book that is not a year old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
