God Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Doubt not, O poet, but persist. Say 'It is in me, and shall out.' Stand there, balked and dumb, stuttering and stammering, hissed and hooted, stand and strive, until at last rage draw out of thee that dream-power which every night shows thee is thine own; a power transcending all limit and privacy, and by virtue of which a man is the conductor of the whole river of electricity.”

“I ought to go upright and vital, and speak the rude truth in all ways.”

“The revelation of thought takes men out of servitude into freedom.”

“It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.”

“All that we call sacred history attests that the birth of a poet is the principal event in chronology.”

“No law can be sacred to me but that of my nature. Good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after my constitution; the only wrong is what is against it.”

“Men trust God by risking rejection. Women trust God by waiting.”

“There is no point of adventure if you have known about everything.”

“For though, I walk through the valley of shadows of Death, I will never fear. For You are in Me and I know You will never let me Go.”

“Men and women are needed whose prayers will give to the world the utmost power of God; who will make His promises to blossom with rich and full results. God is waiting to hear us and challenges us to bring Him to do this thing by our praying. He is asking us, to-day, as He did His ancient Israel, to prove Him now herewith." Behind God's Word is God Himself, and we read: "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Ask of me of things to come and concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me." As though God places Himself in the hands and at the disposal of His people who pray - as indeed He does. The dominant element of all praying is faith, that is conspicuous, cardinal and emphatic. Without such faith it is impossible to please God, and equally impossible to pray.”

“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.”
