More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's nature is a sufficient advertisement to him of the character of his fellows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not the irregular hours or irregular diet that makes the romantic life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole the wise silence the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related the eternal One.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vocabulary of an omniscient man would embrace words and images excluded from polite conversation. What would be base, or even obscene, to the obscene, becomes illustrious, spoken in a new connexion of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live by our imagination, our admirations, and our sentiments.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Draw, if thou canst, the mystic line, Severing rightly his from thine, Which is human, which divine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth gathers itself spotless and unhurt after all our surrenders and concealments and partisanship never hurt by the treachery or ruin of its best defenders, whether Luther, or William Penn, or St. Paul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is not length of life, but depth of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall set a limit to the influence of a human being?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's condition is a solution in hieroglyph to those inquiries he would put. He acts it as life before he apprehends it as truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men are not wise at all times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul answers never by words, but by the thing itself that is inquired after.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Action is with the scholar subordinate, but it is essential. Without it, he is not yet man. Without it, thought can never ripen into truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever we think and say is wonderfully better for our spirits and trust in another mouth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares
Ralph Waldo Emerson
