More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor knowest thou what argument Thy life to thy neighbor's creed has lent. All are needed by each one Nothing is fair or good alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cities drain the country of the best part of its population: the flower of the youth, of both sexes, goes into the towns, andthe country is cultivated by a so much inferior class. The land,--travel a whole day together,--looks poverty-stricken, and the buildings plain and poor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Economy does not consist in saving the coal, but in using the time while it burns.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world - this shadow of the soul, or other me - lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult... So much only of life as I know by experience... The true scholar grudges every opportunity of action past by, as a loss of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Almost every man we meet requires some civility requires to be humored - he has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and which spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of a man's wisdom by his hope, knowing that the inexhaustibleness of nature is an immortal youth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society does not love its unmaskers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your actions speak so loud, I can't hear what you say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know that madness belongs to love,--what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And so the reliance on Property, including the reliance on governments which protect it, is the want of self-reliance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poise of a plant, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every vegetable and animal, are also demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul. All history from its highest to its trivial passages is the various record of this power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I quote another man's saying unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.
