Self trust is the essence of heroism.

Our first mistake is the belief that the circumstance gives the joy which we give to the circumstance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

There are not in the world at...

There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato:-never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them written in his hand.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Every individual man has a bi...

Every individual man has a bias which he must obey, and...it is only as he feels and obeys this that he rightly develops and attains his legitimate power in the world. It is his magnetic needle, which points always in one direction to his proper path.... He is never happy nor strong until he finds it, keeps it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The light by which we see in ...

The light by which we see in this world comes out from the soul of the observer. Wherever any noble sentiment dwelt, it made the faces and houses around to shine. Nay, the powers of this busy brain are miraculous and illimitable.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Old & New put their stamp to ...

Old & New put their stamp to everything in Nature. The snowflake that is now falling is marked by both. The present moment gives the motion & the color of the flake: Antiquity, its form & properties. All things wear a luster which is the gift of the present & a tarnish of time.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

All good conversation, manners, and action come from a spontaneity which forgets usages and makes the moment great.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Plato is philosophy, and philosophy, Plato,--at once the glory and the shame of mankind, since neither Saxon nor Roman have availed to add any idea to his categories.

In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathern boxes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew? it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Man is the will, and woman th...

Man is the will, and woman the sentiment. In this ship of humanity, Will is the rudder, and Sentiment the sail; when woman affects to steer, the rudder is only a masked sail.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Liberty is slow fruit. It is ...

Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap; it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Enthusiasm is the height of m...

Enthusiasm is the height of man; it is the passing from the human to the divine.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

We live in succession, in div...

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in 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. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Man's life is a progress, not a station.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

Society is infected with rude...

Society is infected with rude, cynical, restless, and frivolous persons who prey upon the rest, and whom no public opinion concentrated into good manners, forms accepted by the sense of all, can reach; the contradictors and railers at public and private tables, who are like terriers, who conceive it the duty of a dog of honor to growl at any passer-by, and do the honors of the house by barking him out of sight.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

When he is pushed, tormented,...

When he is pushed, tormented, defeated, he has a chance to learn something; ... he learns his ignorance, is cured of the insanity of conceit; has got moderation and real skill.

Improve your spare moments and they will become the brightest gems in your life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 5320 quotes

The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.
