More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be great, you must be misunderstood
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why has my motley diary no jokes? Because it is a soliloquy and every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is a jealous mistress.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hope in these days we have heard the last of conformity and consistency. Let the words be gazetted and ridiculous henceforward.Instead of the gong for dinner, let us hear a whistle from the Spartan fife.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not in his goals but in his transitions, man is great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
On bravely through the sunshine and the showers! Time hath his work to do, and we have ours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ocean is a large drop a drop is a small ocean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
a good reader makes a good book
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate,--no more. I cannot get it nearer to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some men, at the approach of a dispute, neigh like horses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That you are fair or wise is vain, Or strong, or rich, or generous You must have also the untaught strain That sheds beauty on the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
