More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we see a special reformer we feel like asking him, What right have you, sir, to your own virtue? Is virtue piecemeal?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the blossom language the bud action the fruit behind it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful is never plentiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The universal soul is the alone creator of the useful and the beautiful therefore to make anything useful or beautiful, the individual must be submitted to the universal mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go oft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Begin and proceed on a settled conviction that but little is permitted to any man to do or to know, and if he complies with the first grand laws, he shall do well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window if heavy, it will obscure the light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear,- Knowledge, Use and Reason, with its higher aids.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it.
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
You cannot give anything to a magnanimous person. After you have served him, he at once puts you in debt by his magnanimity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is noticed, that the consideration of the great periods and spaces of astronomy induces a dignity of mind, and an indifferenceto death.
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
What is there of the divine in a load of brick? What ... in a barber shop? ... Much. All.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
