More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The advantage of riches remains with him who procured them, not with the heir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The desire of gold is not for gold. It is not the love of much wheat, and wool and household stuff. It is the means of freedom and benefit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The President proclaims war, and those Senators who dissent are not those who know better, but those who can afford to...Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each ofthese works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken that act or step is the spiritual act all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The merit claimed for the Anglican Church is that, if you let it alone, it will let you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old.
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
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The next best thing to saying a good thing yourself is to quote one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent alone cannot make a writer. There must be a man behind the book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is short but there is always time for courtesy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love not the flower they pluck and know it not, And all their botany is Latin names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is a well-made man who has a good determination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be yourself no base imitator of another, but your best self.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who has money to go over it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
