More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man thoroughly understands a truth until he has contended against it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some men, at the approach of a dispute, neigh like horses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why need I volumes, if one word suffice?

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I didn't find my friends the good Lord gave them to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The House ...She lays her beams in music, In music everyone, To the cadence of the whirling world Which dances around the sun- That so they shall not be displaced By lapses or by wars, But for the love of happy souls Outlive the newest stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that death takes us away from ill things, not from good. I have heard that when we pronounce the name of man we pronounce the belief of immortality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars merchants have let them give them. Farmers will give corn poets will sing women will sew laborers will lend a hand the children will bring flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An action is the perfection and publication of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By virtue of the Deity thought renews itself inexhaustibly every day and the thing whereon it shines, though it were dust and sand, is a new subject with countless relations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us replace sentimentalism by realism and dare to uncover those simple and terrible laws which, be they seen or unseen, pervade and govern.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
