More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sitting back in the evening, stargazing and stroking your dog, is an infallible remedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our statute is a currency which we stamp with our own portrait.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We want men and women who shall renovate life and our social state but we see that most natures are insolvent, cannot satisfy their own wants, have an ambition out of all proportion to their practical force, and so do lean and beg day and night continually.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fill the hands and nurseries of our children with all manner of dolls, drums and horses, withdrawing their eyes from the plain face and... Nature, the sun and moon, the animals, the water and stones, which should be their toys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our first mistake is the belief that the circumstance gives the joy which we give to the circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of ugliness consists not in irregularity, but in being uninteresting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mass are animal, in pupilage, and near chimpanzee.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is made of the same atoms the world is, he shares the same impressions, predispositions, and destiny. When his mind is illuminated, when his heart is kind, he throws himself joyfully into the sublime order, and does, with knowledge, what the stones do by structure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams and beasts are two keys by which we find out the keys of our own nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The course of everything goes to teach us faith.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Foolish, whenever you take the meanness and formality of that thing you do, instead of converting it into the obedient spiracle ofyour character and aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action. What they have done commits and enforces them to do the same again. The first act, which was to be an experiment, becomes a sacrament.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is in short cycles or periods we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate he will not lift his hand to save his life he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great man is unique.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
