If speculation tends thus to ...

If speculation tends thus to a terrific unity, in which all things are absorbed, action tends directly back to diversity. The first is the course or gravitation of mind; the second is the power of nature. Nature is manifold. The unity absorbs, and melts or reduces. Nature opens and creates. These two principles reappear and interpenetrate all things, all thought; the one, the many.

A home kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society, to be sure, does not...

Society, to be sure, does not like this very well; it saith, Whoso goes to walk alone, accuses the whole world; he declares all to be unfit to be his companions; it is very uncivil, nay, insulting; Society will retaliate.

I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to seserve that you should.

Five great enemies of peace inhabit us: avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride.

I read the other day some verses written by an eminent painter which were original and not conventional. The soul always hears an admonition in such lines, let the subject be what it may. The sentiment they instil is of more value than any thought they may contain. 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

The poise of a plant, the ben...

The poise of a plant, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every vegetable and animal, are also demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul. All history from its highest to its trivial passages is the various record of this power.

The finest people marry the two sexes in their own person.

In private places, among sordid objects, an act of truth or heroism seems at once to draw to itself the sky as its temple, the sun as its cradle. Nature stretches out her arms to embrace man, only let his thoughts be of equal greatness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Life is a search after power; and this is an element with which the world is so saturated,-there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged,-that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.

Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

That which we do not believe,...

That which we do not believe, we cannot adequately say; even though we may repeat the words ever so often.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.

Solitude is naught and society is naught. Alternate them and the good of each is seen.
