More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of genius is privileged only as far as he is genius. His dullness is as insupportable as any other dullness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many might go to Heaven with half the labor they go to hell.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your work should be in praise of what you love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is great but the inexhaustible wealth of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every young man is prone to be misled by the suggestions of his own ill-founded ambition which he mistakes for the promptings of asecret genius, and thence dreams of unrivaled greatness.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man will find a great subject, or which is the same thing, make any subject great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We might as easily reprove the east wind, or the frost, as a political party, whose members, for the most part, could give no account of their position, but stand for the defence of those interests in which they find themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best of life is conversation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man has an aptitude born with him. Do your work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And what greater calamity can fall upon a nation than the loss of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music is the poor man's Parnassus.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good poetry could not have been otherwise written than it is. The first time you hear it, it sounds rather as if copied out of some invisible tablet in the Eternal mind than as if arbitrarily composed by the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We prize books, and they prize them most who are themselves wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eloquence shows the power and possibility of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic andfood for our mind, as well as our body. The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education, and bring us to just relations with men and things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
