Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)

Things admit of being used as symbols, because nature is a symbol, in the whole, and in every part (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Genius has infused itself into nature. It indicates itself by a small excess of good, a small balance in brute facts always favorable to the side of reason (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Nature has her own best mode of doing each thing, and she has somewhere told it plainly, if we will keep our eyes and ears open. If not, she will not be slow in undeceiving us, when we prefer our own way to hers (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action. What they have done commits and enforces them to do the same again. The first act, which was to be an experiment, becomes a sacrament (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
We do not want actions, but men; not a chemical drop of water, but rain; the spirit that sheds and showers actions, countless, endless actions (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)

I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
When he has seen, that it is not his, nor any man’s, but it is the soul which made the world, and that it is all accessible to him, he will know that he, as its minister, may rightfully hold all things subordinate and answerable to it (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
For the existing world is not a dream, and cannot with impunity be treated as a dream; neither is it a disease; but it is the ground on which you stand, it is the mother of whom you were born (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Character wants room; must not be crowded on by persons, nor be judged from glimpses got in the press of affairs, or on few occasions. It needs perspective, as a great building (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
Every man’s nature is a sufficient advertisement to him of the character of his fellows (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all (Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes)
