More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must not tamper with the organic motion of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the blossom language the bud action the fruit behind it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who can do things
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is Janus-faced: he looks to the past and the future. He is the child of all my foregoing hours, the prophet of those to come, and the harbinger of a greater friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a certain wisdom of humanity which is common to the greatest men with the lowest, and which our ordinary education oftenlabors to silence and obstruct.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the actual world--the painful kingdom of time and place--dwell care, and canker, and fear. With thought, with the ideal, is immortal hilarity, the rose of joy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us make education brave and preventive. Politics is an afterwork, a poor patching. We are always a little late... We shall one day learn to supercede politics by education... We must begin higher up, namely in Education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every situation do the thing you fear. If you do the thing you fear, the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a man thinketh, so is he, and as a man chooseth, so is he.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poise of a plant, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every vegetable and animal, are also demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul. All history from its highest to its trivial passages is the various record of this power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Steam is no stronger now than it was a hundred years ago, but it is put to better use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we have arrived at the question, the answer is already near.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He presents me with what is always an acceptable gift who brings me news of a great thought before unknown. He enriches me without impoverishing himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we will not interfere with our thought, but will act entirely, or see how the thing stands in God, we know the particular thing, and every thing, and every man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
