More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus grows up fashion, an equivocal semblance, the most puissant, the most fantastic and frivolous, the most feared and followed, and which morals and violence assault in vain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
On bravely through the sunshine and the showers! Time hath his work to do, and we have ours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Skepticism is slow suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling of tranquillity that religion is powerless to bestow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This body, full of faults, Has yet one great quality: Whatever it encounters in this temporal life depends upon one's actions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men, a pledge of sanity, and a protection from those perverse tendencies and gloomy insanities in which fine intellects sometimes lose themselves. A rogue alive to the ludicrous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-men can do little for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good writing is a kind of skating which carries off the performer where he would not go.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who shall forbid a wise skepticism, seeing that there is no practical question on which anything more than an approximate solution can be had?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You must pay for conformity. All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are honest men in other particulars, know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your work should be in praise of what you love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I behold a rich landscape, it is less to my purpose to recite correctly the order and superposition of the strata, than to know why all thought of multitude is lost in a tranquil sense of unity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Noblesse oblige or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man who renounces himself, comes to himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
