More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
An answer in words is delusive it is really no answer to the questions you ask.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is the dwarf of himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God had infinite time to give us.... He cut it up into a near succession of new mornings, and, with each, therefore, a new idea, new inventions, and new applications.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What omniscience has music! So absolutely impersonal, and yet every sufferer feels his secret sorrow soothed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the symbol of Spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The right eloquence needs no bell to call the people together, and no constable to keep them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quality of the thought differences the Egyptian and the Roman, the Austrian and the American.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To this military attitude of the soul we give the name of Heroism... It is a self-trust which slights the restraints of prudence, in the plenitude of its energy and power to repair the harms it may suffer. The hero is a mind of such balance that no disturbances can shake his will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is physical as well as metaphysical, a thing of shreds and patches, borrowed unequally from good and bad ancestors, and a misfit from the start.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The powers of the Soul are commensurate with its needs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I can reason down or deny everything, except this perpetual Belly: feed he must and will, and I cannot make him respectable.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We animate what we can see, and we see only what we animate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation but he shuts the door of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
