Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don’t choose the better person, choose the person who makes a better you.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can be no excess to love; none to knowledge; none to beauty, when these attributes are considered in the purest sense.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions; I will seek my own. I do this not selfishly, but humbly and truly. It is alike your interest, and mine, and all men’s, however long we have dwelt in lies, to live in truth.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
I must be myself. I cannot break myself any longer for you, or you. If you can love me for what I am, we shall be the happier. If you cannot, I will still seek to deserve that you should.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is not marriage an open question, when it is alleged, from the beginning of the world, that such as are in the institution wish to get out, and such as are out wish to get in?
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The least defect of self-possession vitiates, in my judgment, the entire relation.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I go into the garden with a spade, and dig a bed, I feel such an exhilaration and health that I discover that I have been defrauding myself all this time in letting others do for me what I should have done with my own hands.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poet, the painter, the sculptor, the musician, the architect, seek each to concentrate this radiance of the world on one point, and each in his several work to satisfy the love of beauty which stimulates him to produce.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of Nature predominates over the human will in all works of even the fine arts, in all that respects their material and external circumstances. Nature paints the best part of the picture, carves the best part of the statue, builds the best part of the house, and speaks the best part of the oration.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and vulgar things.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us draw a lesson from nature, which always works by short ways. When the fruit is ripe, it falls.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ancient precept, “Know thyself”, and the modern precept, “Study nature”, become at last one maxim.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in nature contains all the power of nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.
