More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdom which cannot help itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate to be defended in a newspaper. As long as all that is said is said against me, I feel a certain assurance of success. But as soon as honeyed words of praise are spoken for me, I feel as one that lies unprotected before his enemies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man behave in his own house as a guest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only way to have a friend is to be one.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men - that is genius... Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist... What I must do, is all that concerns me not what the people think... Nothing can bring you peace but yourself nothing, but the triumph of principles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Emancipation is the demand of civilization. That is a principle everything else is an intrigue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The writer is an explorer. Every step is an advance into a new land.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To eat bread is one thing to love the precepts of Christ and resolve to obey them is quite another.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am the owner of the sphere, Of the seven stars and the solar year, of Caesar's hand, and Plato's brain, Of Lord Christ's heart, and Shakespeare's strain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
