More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jesus and Shakespeare are fragments of the soul, and by love I conquer and incorporate them in my own conscious domain. His virtue,--is not that mine? His wit,--if it cannot be made mine, it is not wit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My garden is a forest ledge Which older forest s bound The banks slope down to the blue lake-edge, Then plunge to depths profound!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intellect annuls fate. So far as a man thinks he is free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, through all her kingdoms, insures herself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Governments have their origin in the moral identity of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our prejudices are our robbers, they rob us valuable things in life. People only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant's economy is a coarse symbol of the soul's economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is it men love in Genius, but its infinite hope, which degrades all it has done? Genius counts all its miracles poor and short. Its own idea it never executed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every industrious man, in every lawful calling, is a useful man. And one principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling, and divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cheerful intelligent face is the end of culture, and success enough. For it indicates the purpose of Nature and wisdom attained.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is hard to mesmerize ourselves, to whip our own top but through sympathy we are capable of energy and endurance. Concert fires people to a certain fury of performance they can rarely reach alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fancy men are individuals so are pumpkins but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
