More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man (or woman) who can make hard things easy is the educator.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The judge weighs the arguments and puts a brave face on the matter, and since there must be a decision, decides as he can, and hopes he has done justice and given satisfaction to the community
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us not forget the genial miraculous force we have known to proceed from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Homeopathy is insignificant as an act of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet these uneasy pleasures and fine pains are for curiosity, and not for life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful laws of time and space, once dislocated by our inaptitude, are holes and dens. If the hive be disturbed by rash and stupid hands, instead of honey, it will yield us bees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The terrible tabulation of the French statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. If one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason of idleness and of crime is the deferring of our hopes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of a man increases steadily by continuance in one direction. He becomes acquainted with the resistances and with his own tools increases his skill and strength and learns the favorable moments and favorable accidents.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing we value and hunt and cultivate and strive to draw to us, but in some hour we turn and rend it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion must always be a crab fruit it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is a man born for but to be a reformer, a remaker of what has been made, a denouncer of lies, a restorer of truth and good?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Good Spirit never cared for the colleges, and though all men and boys were now drilled in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, it had quite left these shells high on the beach, and was creating and feeding other matters [science] at other ends of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is too thin a screen the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No change of circumstances can repair a defect of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
