More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where there is no vision a people perish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up, namely, in education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course, he who has put forth his total strength in fit actions, has the richest return of wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first for example, a well-laid garden and nothing seems worth doing but the laying~out of gardens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I find that the Americans have no passions, they have appetites.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How casually and unobservedly we make all our most valued acquaintances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is with a good book as it is with good company.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days come and go but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not know what arguments mean in reference to any expression of a thought. I delight in telling what I think but if you ask me how I dare say so, or why it is so, I am the most helpless of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love it because it is self dependent, self derived, and therefore of an old immaculate pedigree, even if shown in a young person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Away with this hurrah of masses, and let us have the considerate vote of single men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent for talent's sake is a bauble and a show. Talent working with joy in the cause of universal truth lifts the possessor to new power as a benefactor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Imitation cannot go above its model.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I must feel pride in my friend's accomplishments as if they were mine,--and a property in his virtues. I feel as warmly when he ispraised, as the lover when he hears applause of his engaged maiden.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
