More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of making Christianity a vehicle of truth, you make truth only a horse for Christianity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is curious that Christianity, which is idealism, is sturdily defended by the brokers, and steadily attacked by the idealists.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not fear to put novels into the hands of young people as an occasional holiday experiment, but above all, good poetry in all kinds,--epic, tragedy, lyric. If we can touch the imagination, we serve them they will never forget it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the actual world--the painful kingdom of time and place--dwell care, and canker, and fear. With thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity, the rose of joy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The surest poison is time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Artists must be sacrificed to their art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our thinking is a pious reception.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whilst all the world is in pursuit of power, culture corrects the theory of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An eminent teacher of girls said, the idea of a girl's education, is, whatever qualifies them for going to Europe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is the will, and woman the sentiment. In this ship of humanity, Will is the rudder, and Sentiment the sail when woman affects to steer, the rudder is only a masked sail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course, he who has put forth his total strength in fit actions, has the richest return of wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
