More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the farmer casts into the ground the finest ears of his grain, the time will come when we too shall hold nothing back, but shall eagerly convert more than we now possess into means and powers, when we shall be willing to sow the sun and the moon for seeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The worst of charity is that the lives you are asked to preserve are not worth preserving.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always the seer is a sayer.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
More than the diamond Koh-i-noor, which glitters among their crown jewels, they prize the dull pebble which is wiser than a man, whose poles turn themselves to the poles of the world, and whose axis is parallel to the axis of the world. Now, their toys are steam and galvanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For, whom the Muses smile upon, And touch with soft persuasion, His words like a storm-wind can bring Terror and beauty on their wing In his every syllable Lurketh nature veritable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Such is the active power of good temperament! Great sweetness of temper neutralizes such vast amounts of acid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Persecution readily knits friendship between its victims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Enlarge not thy destiny, said the oracle: endeavor not to do more than is given thee in charge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The flowering of civilization is the finished man, the man of sense, of grace, of accomplishment, of social power--the gentleman.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy to see that a greater self-reliance must work a revolution in all the offices and relations of men in their religion in their education in their pursuits their modes of living their association in their property in their speculative views.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society has really no graver interest than the well-being of the literary class.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shot heard round the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
