More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

"All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen."
"Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul. Strictly speaking, therefore, all that is separate from us, all which Philosophy distinguishes as the 'Not Me,' that is, both nature and art, all other men and my own body, must be ranked under this name, 'Nature.'"
"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."
"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air."
"Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true."
