Quotes

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same fields, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't trust children with edge tools. Don't trust man, great God, with more power than he has until he has learned to use that little better. What a hell we should make of the world if we could do what we would! Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would put myself in the attitude to look in the eye an abstract truth, and I cannot. I blench and withdraw on this side and on that. I seem to know what he meant who said, No man can see God face to face and live. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty..."
Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a language and every new fact one learns is a new word; but it is not a language taken to pieces and dead in the dictionary, but the language put together into a most significant and universal sense. I wish to learn this language--not that I may know a new grammar, but that I may read the great book which is written in that tongue. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Never lose an opportunity for seeing something beautiful for..."
Never lose an opportunity for seeing something beautiful for beauty is God s handwriting. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best type of influence of the past...Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding. The books of an older period will not fit this. Ralph Waldo Emerson
On him the light of star and moon Shall fall with purer radiance down... Him Nature giveth for defence. His formidable innocencn; The mounting sap, the shells, the sea, All spheres, all stonse, his helpers be... Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "We are immensed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision."
We are immensed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse..."
If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty will not come at the call of the legislature.... It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis the good reader that makes the good book; in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakenly meant for his ear; the profit of books is according to the sensibility of the reader; the profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until it is discovered by an equal mind and heart. Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased. Ralph Waldo Emerson
