Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes About Rainbows

• This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.

  Smile, Confidence, Patience

• Say thank you! I want to hear you say it now. Out loud. 'Thank you.' You're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. You're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, God has put a rainbow in the clouds. You're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the Creator of all things. Say thank you!

• Behold the Sea,
  The opaline, the plentiful and strong,
  Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,
  Fresh as the trickling rainbow of July;
  Sea full of food, the nourisher of kinds,
  Purger of earth, and medicine of men;
  Creating a sweet climate by my breath,
  Washing out harms and griefs from memory,
  And, in my mathematic ebb and flow,
  Giving a hint of that which changes not.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson
