More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but willpick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In our definitions, we grope after the spiritual by describing it as invisible. The true meaning of spiritual is real that law which executes itself, which works without means, and which cannot be conceived as not existing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health, south wind, books, old trees, a boat, a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All men are poets at heart. They serve nature for bread, but her loveliness overcomes them sometimes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go put your creed into your deed, Nor speak with double tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Observe how every truth and every error, each a thought of someone's mind, clothes itself with societies, houses, cities, language, ceremonies, newspapers
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lawyers are a prudent race though not very fond of liberty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who can see through its pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quality of the thought differences the Egyptian and the Roman, the Austrian and the American.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man's power is hooped in by a necessity, which, by many experiments, he touches on every side, until he learns its arc.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Greatness once and forever has down with opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation in society is found to be on a platform so low as to exclude science, the saint, and the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Milton says, that the lyric poet may drink wine and live generously, but the epic poet, he who shall sing of the gods, and their descent unto men, must drink water out of a wooden bowl. For poetry is not Devil's wine, but God's wine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commerce is of trivial import love, faith, truth of character, the aspiration of man, these are sacred.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
