More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should the way I feel depend on the thoughts in someone else's head?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The common experience is, that the man fits himself as well as he can to the customary details of that work or trade he falls into, and tends it as a dog turns a spit. Then he is part of the machine he moves the man is lost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is the parent better than the child into whom he has cast his ripened being? Whence, then, this worship of the past?
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fill the hands and nurseries of our children with all manner of dolls, drums and horses, withdrawing their eyes from the plain face and... Nature, the sun and moon, the animals, the water and stones, which should be their toys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
American mind a wilderness of opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is greatest to believe and to hope well of the world, because he who does so, quits the world of experience, and makes the world he lives in.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proportion is almost impossible to human beings. There is no one who does not exaggerate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Free should be the scholar - free and brave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human society is made up of partialities. Each citizen has an interest and a view of his own, which, if followed out to the extreme, would leave no room for any other citizen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
