More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Idealism sees the world in God. It beholds the whole circle of persons and things, of actions and events, of country and religion,not as painfully accumulated, atom after atom, act after act, in an aged creeping Past, but as one vast picture, which God paints on the instant eternity, for the contemplation of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our statute is a currency which we stamp with our own portrait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever is old corrupts, and the past turns to snakes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Was never secret history but birds tell it in the bowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The student is to read history actively and not passively to esteem his own life the text, and books the commentary. Thus compelled, the muse of history will utter oracles as never to those who do not respect themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remarkable trait in the American Character is the union, not very infrequent, of Yankee cleverness with spiritualism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sum of wisdom is that time is never lost that is devoted to work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not hurt weak eyes to look into beautiful eyes never so long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The scholar may lose himself in schools, in words, and become a pedant but when he comprehends his duties, he above all men is arealist, and converses with things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the eye which makes the horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery it is that makes slavery freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
War, to sane men at the present day, begins to look like an epidemic insanity, breaking out here and there like the cholera or influenza, infecting men's brains instead of their bowels.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
