And Now The Quotations by Ralph Waldo Emerson:
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the ordinary.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Each man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well — he has changed his market-cart into a chariot of the sun.
If a man knows the law, find out, though he live in a pine shanty, and resort to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the imprisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint a landscape, and convey into souls and ochres all the enchantments of Spring or Autumn; or can liberate and intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious songs and verses; it is certain that the secret cannot be kept; the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and tens and fifties to his doors.
Do the thing we fear, and death of fear is certain.
The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
The next thing to saying a good thing yourself, is to quote one.
The key to every man is his thought. Sturdy and defying though he look, he has a helm which he obeys, which is the idea after which all his facts are classified. He can only be reformed by showing him a new idea which commands his own.
Only those books come down which deserve to last . All the gilt edges, vellum and morocco, all the presentation copies to all the libraries will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date.
The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.
Character is what can do without success.
Tobacco, coffee, alcohol, hashish, prussic acid, strychnine, are weak dilutions the surest poison is time.
When it is darkest, men see the stars.
Every burned book or house enlightens the world every suppressed or expunged word reverberates through the earth from side to side.
Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul unbelief, in denying them.
We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.
A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.
Whoever is open, loyal, true of humane and affable demeanour honourable himself, and in his judgement of others faithful to his word as to law, and faithful alike to God and man….such a man is a true gentleman.
