Happy is he who looks only in...

Happy is he who looks only into his work to know if it will succeed, never into the times or the public opinion; and who writes from the love of imparting certain thoughts and not from the necessity of sale - who writes always to the unknown friend.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There is no good theory of di...

There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

A man should learn to detect ...

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The efforts which we make to ...

The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every great achievement is th...

Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every spirit builds itself a ...

Every spirit builds itself a house; and beyond its house a world; and beyond its world, a heaven. Know then, that the world exists for you. For you is the phenomenon perfect. What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When its errands are noble and adequate, a steamboat bridging the Atlantic between Old and New England, and arriving at its ports with the punctuality of a planet, is a step of man into harmony with nature.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When we can't piece together ...

When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.

It's a luxury to be understood.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Of Nature itself upon the sou...

Of Nature itself upon the soul; the sunrise, the haze of autumn, the winter starlight seem interlocutors; the prevailing sense is that of an exposition in poetry; a high discourse, the voice of the speaker seems to breathe as much from the landscape as from his own breast; it is Nature communing with the seer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The never-ending task of self improvement.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Talent for talent's sake is a...

Talent for talent's sake is a bauble and a show. Talent working with joy in the cause of universal truth lifts the possessor to new power as a benefactor.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Sanity is very rare; every ma...

Sanity is very rare; every man almost and every woman has a dash of madness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Gross and obscure natures, ho...

Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Freedom has nothing to do wit...

Freedom has nothing to do with having the right to vote for your oppressor; freedom is not having any form of oppression.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The virtues of society are vices of the saint. The terror of reform is the discovery that we must cast away our virtues, or what we have always esteemed such, into the same pit that has consumed our grosser vices.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every thought which genius and piety throw into the world alters the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The ship of heaven guides itself and will not accept a wooden rudder.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The kingdom of man over natur...

The kingdom of man over nature, which cometh not with observation,--a dominion such as now is beyond his dream of God,--he shall enter without more wonder than the blind man feels who is gradually restored to perfect sight.
