Ralph Waldo Emerson Appearance Quotations

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.

Men in all ways are better than they seem.

Outside among your fellows, among strangers, you must preserve appearances, a hundred things you cannot do; but inside, the terrible freedom.

Always scorn appearances and you always may.

Prudence is the virtue of the senses. It is the science of appearances. It is the outmost action of the inward life.
