More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man stands on God. A small man on a great man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life only avails, not the having lived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The picture waits for my verdict it is not to command me, but I am to settle its claim to praise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The word unto the prophet spoken Was writ on tablets yet unbroken: The word by seers or sibyls told, In groves of oak or fanes of gold, Still floats upon the morning wind, Still whispers to the willing mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover is made happier by his love than the object of his affection.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I made laws for Shakers or a school, I should gazette every Saturday all the words they were wont to use in reporting religious experience, as spiritual life, God, soul, cross, etc., and if they could not find new ones next week, they might remain silent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is the parent better than the child into whom he has cast his ripened being? Whence, then, this worship of the past?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole secret of the teacher's force lies in the conviction that men are convertible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our life seems not present, so much as prospective not for the affairs on which it is wasted, but as a hint of this vast- flowingvigor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Talent for talent's sake is a bauble and a show. Talent working with joy in the cause of universal truth lifts the possessor to new power as a benefactor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finest poetry was first experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is curious that Christianity, which is idealism, is sturdily defended by the brokers, and steadily attacked by the idealists.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day is a miniature eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One thing is forever good That one thing is Success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little fact is worth a whole limbo of dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An empire is an immense egotism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We may climb into the thin and cold realm of pure geometry and lifeless science, or sink into that of sensation. Between these extremes is the equator of life, of thought, or spirit, or poetry,--a narrow belt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lover of letters loves power too.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
