Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood; and if there is any truth in him, if he rests at last on the divine soul, I see not how it can be otherwise.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Believe, Men, Soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1981). “The Portable Emerson: New Edition”, p.178, Penguin

Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told; somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas, sometimes with chisel on stone, sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul's worship is builded; sometimes in anthems of indefinite music, but clearest and most permanent, in words.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dream, Joy, Soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson (2010). “Self-Reliance, the Over-Soul, and Other Essays”, p.116, Coyote Canyon Press

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heart, Men, Soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1851). “Essays, lectures and orations”, p.13

The moment the doctrine of the immortality is separately taught, man is already fallen. In the flowing of love, in the adoration of humility, there is no question of continuance. No inspired man ever asks this question, or condescends to these evidences. For the soul is true to itself, and the man in whom it is shed abroad cannot wander from the present, which is infinite, to a future which would be finite.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humility, Men, Soul

The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mistis absorbed into the heat of the Sun--but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heat Of The Sun, Soul, Passing Away
