More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Plato says that the punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is, to live under the government of worse men and the like regret is suggested to all the auditors, as the penalty of abstaining to speak,--that they shall hear worse orators than themselves.
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
What is the hardest task in the world? To think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When the spirit is not master of the world, then it is its dupe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Discontent is want of self-reliance it is infirmity of will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We seldom see anybody who is not uneasy or afraid to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market cart into a chariot of the sun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware of too much good staying in your hand. It will fast corrupt and worm worms. Pay it away quickly in some sort.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cynic can chill and dishearten with a single word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Such is the active power of good temperament! Great sweetness of temper neutralizes such vast amounts of acid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The chief mourner does not always attend the funeral.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cowardice shuts the eyes till the sky is not larger than a calf-skin: shuts the eyes so that we cannot see the horse that is running away with us worse, shuts the eyes of the mind and chills the heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
