More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sorrow makes us all children again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man has an aptitude born with him. Do your work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for his competitors, for it is that which all are practising every day while they live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no architect Can build as the Muse can She is skilful to select Materials for her plan.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity. All men, all things, the state, the church, yea the friends of the heart are phantasms and unreal beside the sanctuary of the heart. With so much awe, with so much fear, let it be respected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A walk in the woods is only an exalted dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Use what language you will, you can never say anything but what you are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The rhyme of the poet Modulates the king's affairs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remarkable trait in the American Character is the union, not very infrequent, of Yankee cleverness with spiritualism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The customer is the immediate jewel of our souls. Him we flatter, him we feast, compliment, vote for, and will not contradict.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature never rhymes her children, nor makes two men alike. When we see a great man, we fancy a resemblance to some historical person, and predict the sequel of his character and fortune, a result which he is sure to disappoint. None will ever solve the problem of his character according to our prejudice, but only in his high unprecedented way.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear always springs from ignorance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
