More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every thing admonishes us how needlessly long life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish that friendship should have feet, as well as eyes and eloquence. It must plant itself on the ground, before it vaults overthe moon. I wish it to be a little of a citizen, before it is quite a cherub.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Economy does not consist in saving the coal, but in using the time while it burns.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the world loves a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Speak as you think, be what you are, pay your debts of all kinds. I prefer to be owned as sound and solvent, and my word as good as my bond, and to be what cannot be skipped, or dissipated, or undermined, to all the eclat in the universe. This reality is the foundation of friendship, religion, poetry, and art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man, who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Surely nobody would be a charlatan, who could afford to be sincere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every mind must know the whole lesson for itself,-must go over the whole ground. What it does not see, what it does not live, it will not know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the Greek cities, it was reckoned profane, that any person should pretend a property in a work of art, which belonged to all who could behold it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We sometimes meet an original gentleman, who, if manners had not existed, would have invented them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would study, I would know, I would admire forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Style is only the frame to hold your thoughts. It is like the sash of a window if heavy, it will obscure the light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But harder still it has proved to resist and rule the dragon Money, with his paper wings. Chancellors and Boards of Trade, Pitt, Peel, and Bobinson, and their parliaments, and their whole generation, adopted false principles, and went to their graves in the belief that they were enriching the country which they were impoverishing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An expense of ends to means is fateMorganization tyrannizing over character. The menagerie, or forms and powers of the spine, is a book of fate: the bill of the bird, the skull of the snake, determines tyrannically its limits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A child convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The reward for a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
