More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
To believe in luck ... is skepticism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's style is his mind's voice. Wooden minds, wooden voices.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not a ray is dimmed, not an atom worn nature's oldest force is as good as new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Other world? There is no other world here or nowhere is the whole fact.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every mind must make its choice between truth and repose. It cannot have both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas, sometimes with chisel on stone, sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul's worship is builded sometimes in anthems of indefinite music, but clearest and most permanent, in words.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A walk in the woods is only an exalted dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up, namely, in education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is ever a slight suspicion of the burlesque about earnest good men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities of mortals woe-begone Fantastic care derides, But in the serious landscape lone Stern benefit abides.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten even so, they have made me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance. The balking of the intellect, is comedy and it announces itself in the pleasant spasms we call laughter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a new method.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
