More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He presents me with what is always an acceptable gift who brings me news of a great thought before unknown. He enriches me without impoverishing himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is beautiful within and without, forevermore.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is physical as well as metaphysical, a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not know today whether we are busy or idle. In times when we thought ourselves indolent, we have afterwards discovered that much was accomplished, and much was begun in us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every stoic was a stoic but in Christendom where is the Christian?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know who is benevolent, by quite other means than the amount of subscriptions to soup-societies. It is only low merits that canbe enumerated.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society cannot do without cultivated men. As soon as the first wants are satisfied, the higher wants become imperative.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action. What they have done commits and enforces them to do the same again. The first act, which was to be an experiment, becomes a sacrament.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet America is a poem in our eyes its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise, and wherever the vein of thought reaches down into the profound, there is no danger from vanity. Solemn friends will warn them of the danger of the head's being turned by the flourish of trumpets, but they can afford to smile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imaginative faculty of the soul must be fed with objects immense and eternal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By virtue of the Deity thought renews itself inexhaustibly every day and the thing whereon it shines, though it were dust and sand, is a new subject with countless relations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our friends early appear to us as representatives of certain ideas, which they never pass or exceed. They stand on the brink of the ocean of thought and power, but they never take a single step that would bring them there.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
