More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not require a description of the countries towards which you sail. The description does not describe them to you, and to- morrow you arrive there, and know them by inhabiting them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sinew and heart of man seem to be drawn out, and we are become timorous desponding whimperers. We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid of each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Judge may be a farmer but he is not to geld his own pigs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I covet truth beauty is unripe childhood's cheat I leave it behind with the games of youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is an infinitely repelling orb, and holds his individual being on that condition.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The two terrors that discourage creativity and creative living are fear of public opinion and undue reverence for one's own consistency.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the first place, all books that get fairly into the vital air of the world were written by the successful class, by the affirming and advancing class, who utter what tens of thousands feel though they cannot say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a search after power and this is an element with which the world is so saturated,-there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged,-that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
