More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is always known. Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universe is represented in every one of it's particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. The true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all His parts in every moss and cobweb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only be admonished by what you already see, not to strike leagues of friendship with cheap persons, where no friendship can be. Our impatience betrays us into rash and foolish alliances which no God attends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is life but the angle of vision? A man is measured by the angle at which he looks at objects.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us unlearn our wisdom of the world. Let us lie low in the Lord's power, and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know who is benevolent, by quite other means than the amount of subscriptions to soup-societies. It is only low merits that canbe enumerated.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conformity is the ape of harmony.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consistency is the bugbear that frightens little minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a creditsystem in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth. This limbo and dust-hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are eyes, to be sure, that give no more admission into the man than blueberries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
