More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man can quite emancipate himself from his age and country, or produce a model in which the education, the religion, the politics, usages, and arts, of his times shall have no share.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ocean is a large drop a drop is a small ocean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is greatest to believe and to hope well of the world, because he who does so, quits the world of experience, and makes the world he lives in.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If thou fill thy brain with Boston and New York, with fashion and covetousness, and wilt stimulate thy jaded senses with wine and French coffee, thou shalt find no radiance of wisdom in the lonely waste of the pinewoods.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meek young men grow up in libraries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Humility is the secret of the wise.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So each man, like each plant, has his parasites. A strong, astringent, bilious nature has more truculent enemies than the slugs and moths that fret my leaves. Such a one has curculios, borers, knife-worms a swindler ate him first, then a client, then a quack, then smooth, plausible gentlemen, bitter and selfish as Moloch.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is power, talent is applicability.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I know nothing which life has to offer so satisfying as the profound good understanding, which can subsist, after much exchange ofgood offices, between two virtuous men, each of whom is sure of himself, and sure of his friend. It is a happiness which postpones all other gratifications, and makes politics, and commerce, and churches, cheap.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orator or author is never successful till he has learned to make his words smaller than his ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The height, the deity of man is to be self-sustained, to need no gift, no foreign force. Society is good when it does not violate me, but best when it is likest to solitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is not prayer a study of truth, a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has a way of demanding that you live it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
