More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover is made happier by his love than the object of his affection.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who has money to go over it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I made laws for Shakers or a school, I should gazette every Saturday all the words they were wont to use in reporting religious experience, as spiritual life, God, soul, cross, etc., and if they could not find new ones next week, they might remain silent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the moment of transition, as if the form were just ready to flow into other forms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do.... Build, therefore, your own world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. I who alone am, I who see nothing in nature whose existence I can affirm with equal evidence to my own, behold now the semblance of my being, in all its height, variety, and curiosity, reiterated in a foreign form so that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature hates calculators.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The thief steals from himself. The swindler swindles himself. For the real price is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All things are moral and in their boundless changes have an unceasing reference to spiritual nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history isto be read and written.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not from a vain or shallow thought His awful Jove young Phidias brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth's a howling wilderness, Truculent with fraud and force.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We expect a great man to be a good reader.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intemperance is the only vulgarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man is always willing to be little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Public opinion, I am sorry to say, will bear a great deal of nonsense. There is scarcely any absurdity so gross, whether in religion, politics, science or manners, which it will not bear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man cannot speak but he judges himself
Ralph Waldo Emerson
