More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where is he who seeing a thousand men useless and unhappy, and making the whole region forlorn by their inaction, and conscious himself of possessing the faculty they want, does not hear his call to go and be their king?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah Fate, cannot a man Be wise without a beard? East, West, from Beer to Dan, Say, was it never heard That wisdom might in youth be gotten, Or wit be ripe before 't was rotten?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature will not let us fret and fume. She does not like our benevolence or our learning much better than she likes our frauds andwars. When we come out of the caucus, or the bank, or the abolition-convention, or the temperance-meeting, or the transcendental club, into the fields and woods, she says to us, so hot? my little Sir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character teaches above our wills.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be an opener of doors
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is hard to mesmerize ourselves, to whip our own top but through sympathy we are capable of energy and endurance. Concert fires people to a certain fury of performance they can rarely reach alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The boxer's ring is the enjoyment of the part of society whose animal nature alone has been developed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out from the heart of Nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books take their place according to their specific gravity as surely as potatoes in a tub.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no hostility to nature, but a child's love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lawyers are a prudent race though not very fond of liberty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society is a wave. The wave moves onward, but the water of which it is composed does not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Practice makes perfect - the sooner you start, the sooner you will be a happy nonsmoker
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
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
Beauty is the moment of transition, as if the form were just ready to flow into other forms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The powers of the Soul are commensurate with its needs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
