More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What art can paint or gild any object in after life with the glow which nature gives to the first baubles of childhood? St. Peter's cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant's economy is a coarse symbol of the soul's economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men exist that there might be greater men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among the map makers of each generation are the risk takers, those who see the opportunities, seize the moment and expand man's vision of the future
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no expectation that any man will read history aright who thinks that what was done in a remote age, by men whose names have resounded far, has any deeper sense than what he is doing today.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Soul rules over matter. Matter may pass away like a mote in the sunbeam, may be absorbed into the immensity of God, as a mistis absorbed into the heat of the Sun--but the soul is the kingdom of God, the abode of love, of truth, of virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will not hide my tastes or aversions. If you are true, but not in the same truth with me, cleave to your companions I will seek my own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one mind common to all individual men
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which we do not believe, we cannot adequately say even though we may repeat the words ever so often.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human body is a magazine of inventions, the patent office, where are the models from which every hint is taken. All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of its limbs and senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give no bounties: make equal laws: secure life and prosperity and you need not give alms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole the wise silence the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related the eternal One.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities force growth and make men talkative and entertaining, but they make them artificial. What possesses interest for us is thenatural of each, his constitutional excellence. This is forever a surprise, engaging and lovely we cannot be satiated with knowing it, and about it and it is this which the conversation with Nature cherishes and guards.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wise through excess of wisdom is made a fool.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one has a prosperity so high and firm that two or three words can't dishearten it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
