Ralph Waldo Emerson Events Quotations

The great man is not convulsible or tormentable; events pass over him without much impression.

The dearest events are summer-rain.

Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.

There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.

The hero sees that the event is ancillary: it must follow him.

The soul knows only the soul; the web of events is the flowing robe in which she is clothed.

I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.

The soul contains the event that shall befall it, for the event is only the actualization of its thoughts; and what we pray to ourselves for is always granted.
