More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word which is used to express a moral or intellectual fact, if traced to its root, is found to be borrowed from some material appearance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book written against fame and learning has the author's name on the title-page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We prize books, and they prize them most who are themselves wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never read any book that is not a year old.
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
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
American mind a wilderness of opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are for nothing but to inspire
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant. Now we reckon them as bank-days, by some debt which is to be paid us, or which we are to pay, or some pleasure we are to taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the eyes say one thing, and the tongue another, a practiced man relies on the language of the first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is an ecstasy. Life is sweet as nitrous oxide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men's thinkings run laterally, never vertically.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our statute is a currency which we stamp with our own portrait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Works of the intellect are great only by comparison with each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a new method.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul unbelief in denying them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
