A vivid thought brings the power to paint it; and in proportion to the depth of its source is the force of its projection.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man is the facade of a temple wherein all wisdom and all good abide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There are people who have an a...

There are people who have an appetite for grief; pleasure is not strong enough and they crave pain. They have mithridatic stomachs which must be fed on poisoned bread, natures so doomed that no prosperity can sooth their ragged and dishevelled desolation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I honor health as the first mu...

I honor health as the first muse, and sleep as the condition of health. Sleep benefits mainly by the sound health it produces; incidentally also by dreams, into whose farrago a divine lesson is sometimes slipped.

There is no one who does not exaggerate. In conversation, men are encumbered with personality, and talk too much.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Tis a rule of manners to avoid exaggeration.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Exaggeration is in the course ...

Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature sends no creature, no man into the world, without adding a small excess of his proper quality. Given the planet, it is still necessary to add the impulse; so, to every creature nature added a little violence of direction in its proper path, a shove to put it on its way; in every instance, a slight generosity, a drop too much.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We aim above the mark, to hit ...

We aim above the mark, to hit the mark. Every act hath some falsehood of exaggeration in it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Health is the first muse, comp...

Health is the first muse, comprising the magical benefits of air, landscape, and bodily exercise on the mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Tis curious that we only belie...

Tis curious that we only believe as deeply as we live.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The unique impression of Jesus...

The unique impression of Jesus upon mankind - whose name is not so much written as ploughed into the history of the world - is proof of the subtle virtue of this infusion. Jesus belonged to the race of prophets. He saw with open eyes the mystery of the soul. One man was true to what is in you and me. He, as I think, is the only soul in history who has appreciated the worth of man.

[A]s if life were a thunder-storm wherein you can see by a flash the horizon, and then cannot see your hand....

With most men, scarce a link of memory holds yesterday and to-day together.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Ah Fate, cannot a man Be wise ...

Ah Fate, cannot a man Be wise without a beard? East, West, from Beer to Dan, Say, was it never heard That wisdom might in youth be gotten, Or wit be ripe before 't was rotten?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Solitary converse with nature;...

Solitary converse with nature; for thence are ejaculated sweet and dreadful words never uttered in libraries. Ah! the spring days, the summer dawns, and October woods!

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nature is sanative, refining, elevating. How cunningly she hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses, and violets, and morning dew! Every inch of the mountains is scarred by unimaginable convulsions, yet the new day is purple with the bloom of youth and love.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Nature, as we know her, is no ...

Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Is all literature eavesdropping, and all art Chinese imitation? our life a custom, and our body borrowed, like a beggar's dinner, from a hundred charities?

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Immortality. I notice that as soon as writers broach this question they begin to quote. I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The borrowing is often honest ...

The borrowing is often honest enough, and comes of magnanimity and stoutness. A great man quotes bravely and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word as good.
