More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I know your sect, I anticipate your argument
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The order of things consents to virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose an entire cabinet of shells would be an expression of the whole human mind a Flora of the whole globe would be so likewise, or a history of beasts or a painting of all the aspects of the clouds. Everything is significant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person who goes around saying nice things about you behind your back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a channel through which heaven floweth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every day, a little sadder, a little madder. Will someone get me a ladder?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato:-never enough to pay for an edition of his works yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them written in his hand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where there is no vision a people perish.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us not forget the genial miraculous force we have known to proceed from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-command is the main elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Throw a stone into the stream and the ripples that propagate themselves are the beautiful type of all influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents. A transcendent talent draws so largely on his forces as tolame him a defect pays him revenues on the other side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startles out wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My angel,-his name is Freedom,- Choose him to be your king He shall cut pathways east and west, And fend you with his wing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
