More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion must always be a crab fruit it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot forgive another for not being ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The time will come when the evil forms we have known can no more be organized. Man's culture can spare nothing, wants all material. He is to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You send your child to the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of histuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I honor health as the first muse, and sleep as the condition of health. Sleep benefits mainly by the sound health it produces incidentally also by dreams, into whose farrago a divine lesson is sometimes slipped.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Respect the child. Wait and see the new product of Nature. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Respect the child. Be not too much his parent. Trespass not on his solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
