Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

To a dull mind all of nature ...

To a dull mind all of nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

My book should smell of pines...

My book should smell of pines and resound with the hum of insects.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Love and you shall be loved. ...

Love and you shall be loved. All love is mathematically just, as much as two sides of an algebraic equation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Be an opener of doors for suc...

Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We live in succession, in div...

We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal One.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Valor consists in the power o...

Valor consists in the power of self-recovery, so that a man cannot have his flank turned, cannot be out-generalled, but put him where you will, he stands.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Beauty is the mark God sets o...

Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful; every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If you have a nation of men w...

If you have a nation of men who have risen to that height of moral cultivation that they will not declare war or carry arms, for they have not so much madness left in their brains, you have a nation of lovers, of benefactors, of true, great, and able men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

All writing is by the grace o...

All writing is by the grace of God. People do not deserve to have good writing, they are so pleased with bad. In these sentences that you show me, I can find no beauty, for I see death in every clause and every word. There is a fossil or a mummy character which pervades this book. The best sepulchers, the vastest catacombs, Thebes and Cairo, Pyramids, are sepulchers to me. I like gardens and nurseries. Give me initiative, spermatic, prophesying, man-making words.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is bad enough that our gen...

It is bad enough that our geniuses cannot do anything useful, but it is worse that no man is fit for society who has fine traits.He is admired at a distance, but he cannot come near without appearing a cripple.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Light is the first of painter...

Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

I feel the same truth how oft...

I feel the same truth how often in my trivial conversation with my neighbours, that somewhat higher in each of us overlooks this by-play, and Jove nods to Jove from behind each of us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Cut these words and they woul...

Cut these words and they would bleed; they are vascular and alive.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Those who are esteemed umpire...

Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, andhave an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Good poetry could not have be...

Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Why should I hasten to solve ...

Why should I hasten to solve every riddle which life offers me? I am well assured that the Questioner, who brings me so many problems, will bring me the answers also, in due time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

It is the privilege of any hu...

It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The universe does not jest with us, but is in earnest.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

If there is any period one wo...

If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?
