Ralph Waldo Emerson Acceptance Quotations

The ship of heaven guides itself and will not accept a wooden rudder.

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

The betrothed and accepted lover has lost the wildest charms of his maiden by her acceptance. She was heaven while he pursued her, but she cannot be heaven if she stoops to one such as he!

Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.

The silence that accepts merit as the most natural thing in the world is the highest applause.

Accept your genius and say what you think.
