More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We animate what we can see, and we see only what we animate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The believing we do something when we do nothing is the first illusion of tobacco.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My life is superficial, takes no root in the deep world I ask, When shall I die, and be relieved of the responsibility of seeinga Universe which I do not use? I wish to exchange this flash-of-lightning faith for continuous daylight, this fever-glow for a benign climate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By God, I will not obey this filthy enactment!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make asally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rude poets of the tavern hearth, squandering your unquoted mirth, which keeps the ground, and never soars, while jake retorts, and reuben roars tough and screaming, as birch-bark, goes like bullet to its mark while the solid curse and jeer never balk the waiting ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In conversation the game is, to say something new with old words. And you shall observe a man of the people picking his way along, step by step, using every time an old boulder, yet never setting his foot on an old place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of themanly contemplation of the whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do not believe in the power of education. We do not think we can speak to divine sentiments in man, and we do not try. We renounce all high aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has a way of demanding that you live it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must know how to estimate a sour face. The sour face of the multitude, like thier sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and the newspaper directs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest homage to truth is to use it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Calmness is always godlike.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
