More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The State is our neighbors our neighbors are the State.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Children and savages use only nouns or names of things, which they convert into verbs, and apply to analogous mental acts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion which is to guide and fulfill the present and coming ages, whatever else it be, must be intellectual. The scientific mind must have a faith which is science.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a new method.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A nation never falls but by suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas, sometimes with chisel on stone, sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul's worship is builded sometimes in anthems of indefinite music, but clearest and most permanent, in words.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not always can flowers, pearls, poetry, protestations, nor even home in another heart, content the awful soul that dwells in clay.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not make himself manifest to cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyph to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life before he apprehends it as truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No member of a crew is praised for the rugged individuality of his rowing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish to say what I think and feel today, with the proviso that tomorrow perhaps I shall contradict it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is a rag merchant, who works up every shred and ort and end into new creations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind that is, he seeks other men, and the rest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We change whether we like it or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
