More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature may be as selfishly studied as trade. Astronomy to the selfish becomes astrology psychology, mesmerism (with intent to show where aour spoons are gone) and anatomy and physiology become phrenology and palmistry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not you see that every misfortune is misconduct that every honour is desert that every effort is an insolence of your own?...You carry your fortune in your own hand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship.
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
I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten even so, they have made me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God builds his temple in the heart on the ruins of churches and religions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius has no taste for weaving sand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every time you wink the stars move.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of making Christianity a vehicle of truth, you make truth only a horse for Christianity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prayer as a means to effect a private end is theft and meanness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up, namely, in education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is never too late to do right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our strength grows out of our weakness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, through all her kingdoms, insures herself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man lose his balance, and immerse himself in any trades or pleasures for their own sake, he may be a good wheel or pin, but he is not a cultivated man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
