More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas, sometimes with chisel on stone, sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul's worship is builded sometimes in anthems of indefinite music, but clearest and most permanent, in words.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eloquence is the power to translate a truth into language perfectly intelligible to the person to whom you speak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a dull mind all of nature is leaden. To the illumined mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree.
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
It all begins when the soul would have its way with you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis curious that we only believe as deeply as we live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Solitude is naught and society is naught. Alternate them and the good of each is seen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days are made on a loom whereof the warp and woof are past and future time. They are majestically dressed, as if every god brought a thread to the skyey web.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My joy in friends, those sacred people, is my consolation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In conversation the game is, to say something new with old words. And you shall observe a man of the people picking his way along, step by step, using every time an old boulder, yet never setting his foot on an old place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A garden is like those pernicious machineries which catch a man's coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg , and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our chief want in life is somebody who will make us do what we can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The President proclaims war, and those Senators who dissent are not those who know better, but those who can afford to...Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every opinion reacts on him who utters it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is our highest word and the synonym of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we are, so we do and as we do, so is it done to us we are the builders of our fortunes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
