I have had a lot of good things happen, but I've also had a lot of terrible things happen. ~ Ralph Lauren
Ralph quotes by Ralph Lauren
But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may be nature's most magnificent creation. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the night is darkest, the stars come out. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Shakespeare, keep it simple. Don't over-inflect. The speech needs to be naturalistic and simple and accessible as much as possible. ~ Ralph Fiennes
Ralph quotes by Ralph Fiennes
The best bribe which London offers to-day to the imagination, is, that, in such a vast variety of people and conditions, one can believe there is room for persons of romantic character to exist, and that the poet, the mystic, and the hero may hope to confront their counterparts. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage (in what is called the spiritual world) is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man did not address his inquiries to the earth on which he stood until a remarkably late stage in the development of his desire for knowledge. And the answers he received to the questions, "Where do I come from?", "What is man?", although they made him poorer by a few illusions, gave him in compensation a knowledge of his past that is vaster than he could ever have dreamed. For it emerged that the history of life was his history too ... ~ Gustav Heinrich Ralph Von Koenigswald
Ralph quotes by Gustav Heinrich Ralph Von Koenigswald
Suppose that you want to teach the 'cat' concept to a very young child. Do you explain that a cat is a relatively small, primarily carnivorous mammal with retractible claws, a distinctive sonic output, etc.? I'll bet not. You probably show the kid a lot of different cats, saying 'kitty' each time, until it gets the idea. To put it more generally, generalizations are best made by abstraction from experience. ~ Ralph P. Boas, Jr.
Ralph quotes by Ralph P. Boas, Jr.
The lover never sees personal resemblances in his mistress to her kindred or to others. His friends find in her a likeness to hermother, or her sisters, or to persons not of her blood. The lover sees no resemblance except to summer evenings and diamond mornings, to rainbows and the song of birds. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I admire the world of the books and the characters that she's created, but I'm not an addict of Harry Potter. I don't feel possessive about it. ~ Ralph Fiennes
Ralph quotes by Ralph Fiennes
An individual has a healthy personality to the exact degree to which they have the propensity to look for the good in every situation. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I first filmed things, they were always slightly awkward. ~ Ralph Fiennes
Ralph quotes by Ralph Fiennes
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Catherine E. McLean
Ralph quotes by Catherine E. McLean
Man was born to be rich, or to inevitably grow rich, by the use of his faculties: by the union of thought with nature. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Leave this touching and clawing. Let him be to me a spirit. A message, a thought, a sincerity, a glance from him, I want, but not news nor pottage. I can get politics, and chat, and neighborly conveniences from cheaper companions. Should not the society of my friend be to me poetic, pure, universal, and great as nature itself? Ought I to feel that our tie is profane in comparison with yonder bar of cloud that sleeps on the horizon, or that clump of waving grass that divides the brook? Let us not vilify, bur raise it to that standard. That great, defying eye, that scornful beauty of his mien and action, do not pique yourself on reducing, but rather fortify and enhance. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I feel genuinely sorry for those who are so blinded by narrow partisanship that they cannot appreciate Limbaugh's energy, intelligence and satiric skill. They live in a box with bags over their heads. Though he and I hardly agree on politics (I voted for Ralph Nader last year and may go Green again in 2004), I respect Limbaugh as a political analyst and deft rhetorician who is a master of the microphone and who knows how to engage and challenge a vast audience. ~ Camille Paglia
Ralph quotes by Camille Paglia
Money, which represents the prose of life, and which is hardly spoken of in parlors without an apology, is, in its effects and laws, as beautiful as roses. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
God offers to every mind a choice between repose and truth. take which you please
you can never have both. [Essay on Intellect] ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
How silent, how spacious, what room for all, yet without place to insert an atom
in graceful succession, in equal fullness, in balanced beauty, the dance of the hours goes forward still. Like an odor of incense, like a strain of music, like a sleep, it is inexact and boundless. It will not be dissected, nor unraveled, nor shown. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a choice between love of truth and love of repose. Love of repose brings him a solid reputation and peaceful life; love of truth keeps him in suspense. A man who loves truth respects the highest law of his being. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society gains nothing whilst a man, not himself renovated, attempts to renovate things around him; he has become tediously good insome particular but negligent or narrow in the rest; and hypocrisy and vanity are often the disgusting result. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Business should never be allowed to justify mean, thug ugly deals for any reason. ~ Ralph Steadman
Ralph quotes by Ralph Steadman
The Americans have no faith, they rely on the power of a dollar; they are deaf to sentiment. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cadillacs are down at the end of the bat. ~ Ralph Kiner
Ralph quotes by Ralph Kiner
A Gothic cathedral affirms that it was done by us and not done by us. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
So ... I feel in regard to this aged England ... pressed upon by transitions of trade and ... competing populations,-I see her not dispirited, not weak, but well remembering that she has seen dark days before;-indeed, with a kind of instinct that she sees a little better in a cloudy day, and that, in storm of battle and calamity, she has a secret vigor and a pulse like a cannon. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The virtue you would like to have, assume it is already yours, appropriate it, enter into the part and live the character just as the great actor is absorbed in ... the part he plays. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind every individual closes organization; before him opens liberty,
the Better, the Best. The first and worse races are dead.The second and imperfect races are dying out, or remain for the maturing of the higher. In the latest race, in man, every generosity, every new perception, the love and praise he extorts from his fellows, are certificates of advance out of fate into freedom. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We argued most of the way home. I thought it would be nicest for Hal to take his two dollars in to Mother first, bu Muriel didn't think so. She always wanted to do things as if it were a play. "That wouldn't be any good," she said. "If Hal goes in first and gives her the money, she'll start crying right away. But if you give her yours first, she'll just say we were smart children to make so much money. And then I'll give her mine, and she'll say, 'Why, why ... where in the world did you get so much money?' And then Phillip can give her his, and she'll look like she thought maybe we'd robbed a bank. And then when Hal gives her his, we'll all want to cry."
It worked just the way she thought it would. ~ Ralph Moody
Ralph quotes by Ralph Moody
To be at one with God is to be at peace. The child simplicity is the greatest agency in bringing this full and complete realization, the child simplicity that recognizes its true relations with the Father's life. There are people I know who have come into such a conscious realization of their oneness with this Infinite Life, this Spirit of Infinite Peace, that their lives are fairly bubbling over with joy. ~ Ralph Waldo Trine
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Trine
A scholar is a candle which the love and desire of all men will light. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what is right, and you'll have no lasting regrets. Do what is right, and put yourself on the side of truth, goodness, and the best of life. ~ Ralph Marston
Ralph quotes by Ralph Marston
Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no churlish objection to the circumnavigation of the globe, for the purposes of art, of study, and benevolence, so that the man is first domesticated, or does not go abroad with the hope of finding somewhat greater than he knows. He who travels to be amused, or to get somewhat which he does not carry, travels away from himself, and grows old even in youth among old things ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In order to make room for more of God in our life, we need to let go of things that are currently filling our heart and reorder the things that are not ordered properly in Him. The importance of an appropriate detachment from the things of the world-or as they sometimes speak of it, the putting of our lives into the right-is stressed by all the spiritual writers. ~ Ralph Martin
Ralph quotes by Ralph Martin
Funny sky,' he said, squinting up at the thick-bellied white clouds and the sun shining so hot on them but not breaking through.
'It feels as if there should be a storm,' I said 'but it was like this at haymaking and the weather never properly broke then.'
'If I was at sea I should run for a port,' Ralph said. He was looking towards the horizon where there was a yellow tinge to the sky over the top of the downs. ~ Philippa Gregory
Ralph quotes by Philippa Gregory
Talent finds its models, methods, and ends in society, exists for exhibition, and goes to the soul only for power to work. Genius is its own end, and draws its means and the style of its architecture from within. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a Christian should do no injuries to others, so he should forgive the injuries that others do to him. It is to be like God, who is a good-giving God, and a sin-forgiving God. ~ Ralph Venning
Ralph quotes by Ralph Venning
We acquire the strength we have overcome. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'm not a separatist. The imagination is integrative. That's how you make the new
by putting something else with what you've got. And I'm unashamedly an American integrationist. ~ Ralph Ellison
Ralph quotes by Ralph Ellison
The bulk of mankind believe in two gods. They are under one dominion here in the house, as friend and parent, in social circles, in letters, in art, in love, in religion; but in mechanics, in dealing with steam and climate, in trade, in politics, they think they come under another. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Weirdly also listening to a lot of Aphex Twin again, I loved Syro. ~ Ralph Lawson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Lawson
The universal does not attract us until housed in an individual. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form. ~ William Ralph Inge
Ralph quotes by William Ralph Inge
Conservatism is affluent and openhanded, but there is a cunning juggle in riches. I observe that they take somewhat for everythingthey give. I look bigger, but am less; I have more clothes, but am nit so warm; more armor, but less courage; more books, but less wit. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Keep cool: it will be all one a hundred years hence. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and monring dew ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In old persons, when thus fully expressed, we often observe a fair, plump, perennial waxen complexion, which indicates that all the ferment of earlier days has subsided into serenity of thought and behavior. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our people are slow to learn the wisdom of sending character instead of talent to Congress. Again and again they have sent a man of great acuteness, a fine scholar, a fine forensic orator, and some master of the brawls has crunched him up in his hands like a bit of paper. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate;
debt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be forgone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the whole of history is in one man, it is all to be explained from individual experience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Infancy is the perpetual Messiah, which comes into the arms of fallen men, and pleads with them to return to paradise. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'll stick close to Sandy. I swear that woman isn't afraid of anything or anybody." Baldric gave Ralph a rare smile and winked. ~ D.F. Jones
Ralph quotes by D.F. Jones
America is ripe for lies and lethargy. The pure mountain air is going and gone. It is a huge burden and a sadness for us all. ~ Ralph Steadman
Ralph quotes by Ralph Steadman
I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have to say I wasn't a huge fan of 'Star Wars', and I'm still not, really, but you have to acknowledge that there's a huge fan base for it, and these people are really sweet. You can't stereotype a 'Star Wars' fan. ~ Ralph Brown
Ralph quotes by Ralph Brown
It is a disturbing sign of the times when the two most transformative science technologies affecting the globe - biotechnology and nanotechnology - are governed by no external ethical or legal frameworks to protect public safety and other public interests, despite the fact that both industries have benefited from heavy taxpayer-funded government support. ~ Ralph Nader
Ralph quotes by Ralph Nader
Pay no heed to the average photographer's remarks upon "flat" and "weak" negatives. Probably he is flat, weak, stale, and unprofitable; your negative may be first-rate, and probably is if he does not approve of it. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I enjoy my work so much that I have to be pulled away from my work into leisure. ~ Ralph Nader
Ralph quotes by Ralph Nader
New York!" he said. "That's not a place, it's a dream. ~ Ralph Ellison
Ralph quotes by Ralph Ellison
It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under other circumstances. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world proceeds from the same spirit as the body of man. It is a remoter and inferior incarnation of God, a projection of God in the unconscious. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Acting is a strange business; one day it's there, and the next day nowhere to be seen. ~ Ralph Richardson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Richardson
If you put a chain around the neck of a slave, the other end fastens itself around your own. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pure by impure is not seen. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in nature goes by law, and not by luck. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is with a good book as it is with good company. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Englishman who has lost his fortune is said to have died of a broken heart. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have been told, that in some public discourses of mine my reverence for the intellect has made me unjustly cold to the personalrelations. But now I almost shrink at the remembrance of such disparaging words. For persons are love's world, and the coldest philosopher cannot recount the debt of the young soul wandering here in nature to the power of love, without being tempted to unsay, as treasonable to nature, aught derogatory to the social instincts. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first item was fighting under the name 'Crostini of Mealed Tarroce, with Benatore Potatoes' and weighed in at an impressive twelve pounds sixty-five. The Ralph Lauren blonde came over and asked me if I needed any help with the menu, and I asked her to explain what potatoes were. She didn't laugh. ~ Hugh Laurie
Ralph quotes by Hugh Laurie
The forest is my loyal friend
A Delphic shrine to me. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
But the man is, as it were, clapped into jail by his consciousness. As soon as he has once acted or spoken with eclat, he is a committed person, watched by the sympathy or the hatred of hundreds, whose affections must now enter into his account. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
My angel,-his name is Freedom,-
Choose him to be your king;
He shall cut pathways east and west,
And fend you with his wing. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It makes a great difference in the force of a sentence, whether a man be behind it or no. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I couldn't get as big as a bodybuilder. I tried to put on as much weight in the right places as I could. My weightlifting was impressive for me, but not for some of the guys I see down at the gym. ~ Ralph Fiennes
Ralph quotes by Ralph Fiennes
Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the boys come into my yard for leave to gather horse-chestnuts, I own I enter into nature's game, and affect to grant the permission reluctantly, fearing that any moment they will find out the imposture of that showy chaff. But this tenderness is quite unnecessary; the enchantments are laid on very thick. Their young life is thatched with them. Bare and grim to tears is the lot of the children in the hovel I saw yesterday; yet not the less they hang it round with frippery romance, like the children of the happiest fortune. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said, no man can write but one book; and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency; a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is old, therefore it is good"; the other says, "This is new, therefore it is better. ~ William Ralph Inge
Ralph quotes by William Ralph Inge
The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. ~ Ralph Marston
Ralph quotes by Ralph Marston
Sleep lingers all our lifetime about our eyes, as night hovers all day in the boughs of the fir tree. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A billion saved is a billion earned. ~ Norman Ralph Augustine
Ralph quotes by Norman Ralph Augustine
The work of vegetation begins first in the irritability of the bark and leaf-buds. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man? ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good intention but fixed and resolute - bent on high and holy ends, we shall find means to them on every side and at every moment; and even obstacles and opposition will but make us "like the fabled specter-ships," which sail the fastest in the very teeth of the wind. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poeticyouth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man known to us only as a celebrity in politics or in trade, gains largely in our esteem if we discover that he has some intellectual taste or skill. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Well, you had better speak more slowly so we can understand. We mean to do right by you, but you've got to know your place at all times. All right, now, go on with your speech. ~ Ralph Ellison
Ralph quotes by Ralph Ellison
And while the ice was melting to form a flood in which I threatened to drown I awoke one afternoon to find that my first northern winter had set. ~ Ralph Ellison
Ralph quotes by Ralph Ellison
An Associated Press report by Chicago-based reporter Sharon Cohen in May 1993 examined Christian fundamentalists and concluded that they were prone to 'riots, terrorism - and death.' ~ Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
Ralph quotes by Ralph E. Reed, Jr.
The saint and poet seek privacy to ends the most public and universal: and it is the secret of culture, to interest the man more in his public, than in his private quality. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
