More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is originality? It is being one's self, and reporting accurately what we see and are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him go where he will, he can only find so much beauty or worth as he carries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do your work, but do your thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Improve your spare moments and they will become the brightest gems in your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is saturated with Deity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose you could never explain to the most ingenous molusk that such a creature as a whale existed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is the first circle the horizon which it forms is the second and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief value of the new fact is to enhance the great and constant fact of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pines a thousand years old. Every year they must go farther for them: they recede, like beavers and Indians, before the white man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose an entire cabinet of shells would be an expression of the whole human mind a Flora of the whole globe would be so likewise, or a history of beasts or a painting of all the aspects of the clouds. Everything is significant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
