Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances: it was somebody’s name, or he happened to be there at right time, or it was so then, and another day it would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect Picture Quote #1

The idiot, the Indian, the child and unschooled farmer’s boy stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary Picture Quote #1

Nothing can bring you happiness but yourself especially how you choose to think about your situation Picture Quote #1

The word miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression; it is a monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and the falling rain Picture Quote #1

We fetch fire and water, run about all day among the shops and markets, and get our clothes and shoes made and mended, and are thevictims of these details, and once in a fortnight we arrive perhaps at a rational moment Picture Quote #1

Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions. The surest poison is time Picture Quote #1

There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same and to all of the same Picture Quote #1

Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense Picture Quote #1

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson Picture Quote #1

The vegetable life does not content itself with casting from the flower or the tree a single seed, but it fills the air and earth with a prodigality of seeds, that, if thousands perish, thousands may plant themselves, that hundreds may come up, that tens may live to maturity; that, at least one may replace the parent Picture Quote #1

Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds Picture Quote #1

A moody child and wildly wise Pursued the game with joyful eyes, Which chose, like meteors, their way, And rived the dark with private ray Picture Quote #1

Don’t ever give up on something or someone that you can’t go a full day without thinking about Picture Quote #1

Finish each day before you begin the next, and interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two. This you cannot do without temperance Picture Quote #1

Good is positive. Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of heat. All evil is so much death or nonentity. Benevolence is absolute and real. So much benevolence as a man hath, so much life hath he Picture Quote #1

We see young men who owe us a new world, so readily and lavishly they promise, but they never acquit the debt; they die young anddodge the account: or if they live, they lose themselves in the crowd Picture Quote #1

A just thinker will allow full swing to his scepticism. I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I am not afraid of falling into my inkpot.... We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth Picture Quote #1

Ever fresh the broad creation, A divine improvisation, From the heart of God proceeds, A single will, a million deeds Picture Quote #1

Do you love me? Means at last do you see the same truth I see? If you do, we are happy together; but when presently one of us passes into the perception of a new truth, we are divorced and the force of all nature cannot hold us to each other Picture Quote #1

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Learn from it... tomorrow is a new day Picture Quote #1

Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it Picture Quote #1

The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood Picture Quote #1

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense Picture Quote #1

All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of man’s limbs and senses Picture Quote #1
