Quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Up and away for life! be fleet!-
The frost-king ties my fumbling feet,
Sings in my ears, my hands are stones,
Curdles the blood to the marble bones,
Tugs at the heart-strings, numbs the sense,
And hems in life with narrowing fence.
Well, in this broad bed lie and sleep,-
The punctual stars will vigil keep,-
Embalmed by purifying cold;
The winds shall sing their dead-march old,
The snow is no ignoble shroud,
The moon thy mourner, and the cloud.
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.
A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can.
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Nothing is more simple than greatness; indeed, to be simple is to be great.
Let us treat men and women well; treat them as if they were real.
Perhaps they are.
I please myself with the graces of the winter scenery, and believe that we are as much touched by it as by the genial influences of summer.
