A sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal powers, souls are now acting, enduring and daring, which can love us, and which we can love.

More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Image
Thought dissolves the material universe by carrying the mind up into a sphere where all is plastic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Nature, through all her kingdoms, insures herself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Tis weak and vicious people who cast the blame on Fate. The right use of Fate is to bring up our conduct to the loftiness of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Sooner or later that which is now life shall be poetry, and every fair and manly trait shall add a richer strain to the song.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I am not much an advocate for traveling, and I observe that men run away to other countries because they are not good in their own, and run back to their own because they pass for nothing in the new places. For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
My doom and my strength is to be solitary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every man should let out all the length of all the reigns should find or make a frank and healthy expression of what force and meaning is in him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We are not free to use today, or to promise tomorrow, because we are already mortgaged to yesterday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Throw a stone into the stream and the ripples that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of all influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every book is good to read which sets the reader in a working mood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
To get up each morning with the resolve to be happy is to set your own conditions to the events of each day. To do this is to condition circumstances instead of being conditioned by them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We, as we read, must become Greeks, Romans, Turks, priest and king, martyr and executioner must fasten these images to some reality in our secret experience, or we shall learn nothing rightly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I find that the Americans have no passions, they have appetites.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
