More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him be great, and love shall follow him. Nothing is more deeply punished than the neglect of the affinities by which alone society should be formed, and the insane levity of choosing associates by others eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It may be safely trusted as proportionate and of good issues, so it be faithfully imparted, but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a man thinketh, so is he, and as a man chooseth, so is he.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A philosopher must be more than a philosopher.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who live to the future must always appear selfish to those who live to the present.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis the good reader that makes the good book a good head cannot read amiss: in every book he finds passages which seem confidences or asides hidden from all else and unmistakeably meant for his ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must learn the language of facts. The most wonderful inspirations die with their subject, if he has no hand to paint them to the senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only prudence in life is concentration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling of tranquillity that religion is powerless to bestow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conservatism, ever more timorous and narrow, disgusts the children, and drives them for a mouthful of fresh air into radicalism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is more difference in the quality of our pleasures than in the amount.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How casually and unobservedly we make all our most valued acquaintances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The health of the eye demands a horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human beings cannot endure the geological chaos they encounter under the soil of their own gardens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A state of war or anarchy, in which law has little force, is so far valuable, that it puts every man on trial. The man of principle is known as such, and even in the fury of faction is respected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Desire is possibility seeking expression.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To eat bread is one thing to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
