His hidden meaning lies in our endeavors; Our valors are our best gods. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will not hide my tastes or aversions. I will so trust that what is deep is holy, that I will do strongly before the sun and moon whatever only rejoices me, and the heart appoints Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "I covet truth; beauty is unripe childhood's cheat; I leave it..."
I covet truth; beauty is unripe childhood's cheat; I leave it behind with the games of youth. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings. Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing. The thought and the form are equal in the order of time, but in the order of genesis the thought is prior to the form. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows what is safe, or where it will end. There is not a piece of science, but its flank may be turned to-morrow; there is not any literary reputation, not the so-called eternal names of fame, that may not be revised and condemned. The very hopes of man, the thoughts of his heart, the religion of nations, the manner and morals of... Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention..."
A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word just as good. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but,..."
Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies."
Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Beauty without expression tires"
Beauty without expression tires Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good..."
Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus inevitably does the universe wear our color, and every object fall successively into the subject itself. The subject exists, the subject enlarges; all things sooner or later fall into place. As I am, so I see; use what language we will, we can never say anything but what we are. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: "A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his..."
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best. Ralph Waldo Emerson
I trust a good deal to common fame, as we all must. If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs, to sell, or can make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs, than anybody else, you will find a broad hard-beaten road to his house, though it be in the woods. Ralph Waldo Emerson
