More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is the laboratory and workshop of the student.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man was born to be rich, or to inevitably grow rich, by the use of his faculties: by the union of thought with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every opinion reacts on him who utters it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is man born for but to be a Reformer, a Remaker of what man has made? A renouncer of lies a restorer of truth and good? Imitating that great Nature which embossoms us all, and which sleeps no moment on an old past, but every hour repairs herself, yielding us every morning a new day, with every breath a new life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thy dangerous glances make women of men new-born, we are melting into nature again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pines a thousand years old. Every year they must go farther for them: they recede, like beavers and Indians, before the white man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our opinions of the world, are confessions of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hume's doctrine was that the circumstances vary, the amount of happiness does not that the beggar cracking fleas in the sunshine under a hedge, and the duke rolling by in his chariot, the girl equipped for her first ball, and the orator returning triumphant from the debate, had different means, but the same quantity of pleasant excitement.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything intercepts us from ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not 'studying a profession', for he does not postpone his life, but lives already. He has not one chance, but a hundred chances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When a dog is chasing after you, whistle for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
