We are never without a pilot....

We are never without a pilot. When we know not how to steer, and dare not hoist a sail, we can drift. The current knows the way, though we do not. The ship of heaven guides itself, and will not accept a wooden rudder.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Health is the condition of wisdom, and the sign is cheerfulness, - an open and noble temper.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Now that is the wisdom of a m...

Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We must be very suspicious of...

We must be very suspicious of the deceptions of the element of time. It takes a good deal of time to eat or to sleep, or to earn ahundred dollars, and a very little time to entertain a hope and an insight which becomes the light of our life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every man alone is sincere. ...

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.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

The wise man in the storm prays God not for safety from danger but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers him[,] not the storm without.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To believe your own thought, ...

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men that is genius.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When a thought of Plato becom...

When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me,--when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. When I feel that we two meet in a perception, that our two souls are tinged with the same hue, and do as it were run into one, why should I measure degrees of latitude, why should I count Egyptian years?

Commerce is a game of skill which everyone cannot play and few can play well.

It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The vanishing, volatile froth...

The vanishing, volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the adamantine.

Live in the fields, and God will give you lectures on natural philosophy every day.

Whatever limits us we call fate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

What is life but the angle of...

What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects. What is life but what a man is thinking of all day? This is his fate and his employer. Knowing is the measure of the man. By how much we know, so we are.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every calamity is a spur and ...

Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.

Do not tell me of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong

Common sense is as rare as genius.

How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!
