More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind does not create what it perceives, any more than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said that the world is in a state of bankruptcy, that the world owes the world more than the world can pay.
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
A low self-love in the parent desires that his child should repeat his character and fortune.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor sequent centuries could hit Orbit and sum of SHAKSPEARE's wit. The men who lived with him became Poets, for the air was fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride ruined the angels, Their shame them restores And the joy that is sweetest Lurks in stings of remorse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do what we can, summer will have its flies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
For flowers that bloom about our feet For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet For song of bird, and hum of bee For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Free should be the scholar - free and brave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The truth, the hope of any time, must always be sought in minorities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poorest experience is rich enough for all the purposes of expressing thought
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men consort in camp and town But the poet dwells alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A mob is a society obodies, voluntarily bereaving themselves oreason, and traversing its work. The mob is man, voluntarily descending to the nature othe beast. Its fit hour oactivity is night its actions are insane, like its whole constitution.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first muse, and sleep as the condition of health. Sleep benefits mainly by the sound health it produces incidentally also by dreams, into whose farrago a divine lesson is sometimes slipped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth's a howling wilderness, Truculent with fraud and force.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
