More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must but coop up most men and you undo them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs, words, and grammar inflections convey the public sense with more purity and precision, than the wisest individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you follow the suburban fashion in building a sumptuous- looking house for a little money, it will appear to all eyes as a cheap, dear house.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that rides his hobby gently must always give way to him that rides his hobby hard.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Isolation must precede true society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
