More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The God who made New Hampshire Taunted the lofty land With little men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sympathy is a supporting atmosphere, and in it we unfold easily and well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A believer, a mind whose faith is consciousness, is never disturbed because other persons do not yet see the fact which he sees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The person who screams, or uses the superlative degree, or converses with heat puts whole drawing-rooms to flight. If you wish to be loved, love measure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When its errands are noble and adequate, a steamboat bridging the Atlantic between Old and New England, and arriving at its ports with the punctuality of a planet, is a step of man into harmony with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven always bears some proportion to earth. The god of the cannibal will be a cannibal, of the crusades a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot make a cheap palace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul refuses limits and always affirms an optimism, never a pessimism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else.
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
But harder still it has proved to resist and rule the dragon Money, with his paper wings. Chancellors and Boards of Trade, Pitt, Peel, and Bobinson, and their parliaments, and their whole generation, adopted false principles, and went to their graves in the belief that they were enriching the country which they were impoverishing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ethics and religion differ herein that the one is the system of human duties commencing from man the other, from God. Religion includes the personality of God Ethics does not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
