More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who listened to Lord Chatham felt that there was something finer in the man, than anything which he said.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never try to make anyone like you: you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go face the fire at sea, or the cholera in your friend's house, or the burglar in your own, or what danger lies in the way of duty, knowing you are guarded by the cherubim of Destiny. If you believe in Fate to your harm, believe it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we must obey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage (in what is called the spiritual world) is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice? Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Europe has always owed to oriental genius its divine impulses. What these holy bards said, all sane men found agreeable and true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The height of the pinnacle is determined by the breadth of the base.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea, but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on, die on the first inch of your territory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The idea of God ends in a paltry Methodist meeting-house.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall we then judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
