More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In a cabinet of natural history, we become sensible of a certain occult recognition and sympathy in regard to the most unwieldy and eccentric forms of beast, fish, and insect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many photographers think they are photographing nature when they are only caricaturing her.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So far as a person thinks they are free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The other terror that scares us from self-trust is our consistency a reverence for our past act or word, because the eyes of others have no other data for computing our orbit than our past acts, and we are loath to disappoint them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a principle is the number of things it will explain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Manners have been somewhat cynically defined to be a contrivance of wise men to keep fools at a distance. Fashion is shrewd to detect those who do not belong to her train, and seldom wastes her attentions. Society is very swift in its instincts, and if you do not belong to it, resists and sneers at you, or quietly drops you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wings of Time are black and white, Pied with morning and with night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is simply the rose it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
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
A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.
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
Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not spill thy soul in running hither and yon, grieving over the mistakes and the vices of others. The one person whom it is most necessary to reform is yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
