More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every heroic act measures itself by its contempt of some external good. But it finds its own success at last, and then the prudent also extol.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
First be a good animal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best of life is conversation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to write is to throw your body at the mark when your arrows are spent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the mistakes I make arise from forsaking my own station and trying to see the object from another person's point of view.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a principle which is the basis of things, which all speech aims to say, and all action to evolve, a simple, quiet, undescribed, undescribable presence, dwelling very peacefully in us, our rightful lord: we are not to do, but to let do not to work, but to be worked upon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams and beasts are two keys by which we find out the keys of our own nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest when they are sick or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused, when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the red slayer think he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways, I keep and pass and turn again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To educate the wise man, the State exists and with the appearance of the wise man, the State expires. The appearance of charactermakes the state unnecessary. The wise man is the State.
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
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is creative reading as well as creative writing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no man of Nature's worth In the circle of the earth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's actions are the picture book of his creeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
