More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I cannot brag of knowing something, then I brag of not knowing it at any rate, brag.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Between cultivated minds the first interview is the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry must be as new as foam and as old as the rock.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer's profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man's home, could suggest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is all literature eavesdropping, and all art Chinese imitation? our life a custom, and our body borrowed, like a beggar’s dinner, from a hundred charities?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every reform was once a private opinion, and when it shall be a private opinion again, it will solve the problem of the age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations.
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
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
