More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot give anything to a magnanimous person. After you have served him, he at once puts you in debt by his magnanimity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consideration is the soil in which wisdom may be expected to grow, and strength be given to every up-springing plant of duty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is in short cycles or periods we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate he will not lift his hand to save his life he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All sensible people are selfish, and nature is tugging at every contract to make the terms of it fair.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What king has he not taught state, as Talma taught Napoleon? What maiden has not found him finer than her delicacy? What lover has he not outloved? What sage has he not outseen? What gentleman has he not instructed in the rudeness of his behavior?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Colleges, in like manner, have their indispensable office,--to teach elements. But they can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first Muse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the last lesson of modern science, that the highest simplicity of structure is produced, not by few elements, but by the highest complexity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible but all natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
