More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is a jealous mistress and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book of nature is the book of fate. She turns the gigantic pages, leaf after leaf never returning one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The South-wind brings Life, sunshine and desire, And on every mount and meadow Breathes aromatic fire But over the dead he has no power, The lost, the lost, he cannot restore And, looking over the hills, I mourn The darling who shall not return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is a game of circles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women have a less accurate measure of time than men there is a clock in Adam, none in Eve.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But speak the truth, and all nature and all spirits help you with unexpected furtherance. Speak the truth, and all things alive orbrute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there do seem to stir and move to bear you witness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is ever a slight suspicion of the burlesque about earnest good men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without the great arts which speak to the sense of beauty, a man seems to me a poor, naked, shivering creature. These are his becoming draperies, which warm and adorn him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pictures must not be too picturesque.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish to speak with all respect of persons, but sometimes I must pinch myself to keep awake, and preserve the due decorum. They melt so fast into each other, that they are like grass and trees, and it needs an effort to treat them as individuals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
