More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise cultivated, genial conversation is the last flower of civilization, and the best result which life has to offer us,--a cup for gods, which has no repentance. Conversation is our account of ourselves. All we have, all we can, all we know, is brought into play, and as the reproduction in finer form, of all our havings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any work looks wonderful to me except the one which I can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A divine person is the prophecy of the mind a friend is the hope of the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science in England, in America, is jealous of theory, hates the name of love and moral purpose. There's revenge for this humanity.What manner of man does science make? The boy is not attracted. He says, I do not wish to be such a kind of man as my professor is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good deal of our politics is physiological.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consideration is the soil in which wisdom may be expected to grow, and strength be given to every up-springing plant of duty.
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
Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But I go with my friend to the shore of our little river, and with one stroke of the paddle, I leave the village politics and personalities, yes, and the world of villages and personalities behind, and pass into a delicate realm of sunset and moonlight, too bright almost for spotted man to enter without novitiate and probation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of success in education is respecting the students.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am present at the sowing of the seed of the world. With a geometry of sunbeams, the soul lays the foundations of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A nation, like a tree, does not thrive well till it is engraffed with a foreign stock.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The river knows the way to the sea: Without a pilot it runs and falls, Blessing all lands with its charity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
