More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frankness invites frankness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house is a castle which the King cannot enter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best of things if well used if abused, among the worst. They are good for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing settled in manners, but the laws of behavior yield to the energy of the individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery it is that makes slavery freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each man reserves to himself alone the right of being tedious.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first for example, a well-laid garden and nothing seems worth doing but the laying~out of gardens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go where he will, the wise man is at home, His hearth the earth, his hall the azure dome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Although this garrulity of advising is born with us, I confess that life is rather a subject of wonder, than of didactics. So muchfate, so much irresistible dictation from temperament and unknown inspiration enter into it, that we doubt we can say anything out of our own experience whereby to help each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven depending on whether they compare it to something better and so feel disappointed and bitter or something worse and so feel relieved and grateful.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Was never secret history but birds tell it in the bowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Government has come to be a trade, and is managed solely on commercial principles. A man plunges into politics to make his fortune, and only cares that the world shall last his days.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The key to every man is his thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we seek we shall find what we flee from flees from us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see it only that thyself is here, and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels and the supreme being shall not be absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
