More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the world loves a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every ship is a romantic object, except that we sail in. Embark, and the romance quits our vessel, and hangs on every other sail in the horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
History no longer shall be a dull book. It shall walk incarnate in every just and wise man. You shall not tell me by language and titles a catalogue of the volumes you have read. You shall make me feel what periods you have lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called history is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The picture waits for my verdict it is not to command me, but I am to settle its claim to praise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a tendency in things to right themselves, and the war or revolution or bankruptcy that shatters rotten system, allows things to take a new and natural order.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But genius looks forward: the eyes of men are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever a man commits a crime, God finds a witness. Every secret crime has its reporter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
