More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The kitchen clock is more convenient than sidereal time. We must use the popular category, as we do by the Linnæan classification, for convenience, and not as exact and final. Otherwise, we are presently confounded, when the best-settled traits of one race are claimed by some new ethnologist as precisely characteristic of the rival tribe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a property in the horizon which no man has, but he whose eyes can integrate all the parts,--that is, the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Eyes...They speak all languages.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men's thinkings run laterally, never vertically.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not in his goals but in his transitions, man is great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation in society is found to be on a platform so low as to exclude science, the saint, and the poet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many photographers think they are photographing nature when they are only caricaturing her.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fancy men are individuals so are pumpkins but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Immitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is not to be found by touring to Egypt, China, or Peru if you cannot find it at your own door, you will never find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven often protects valuable souls charged with great secrets, great ideas, by long shutting them up with their own thoughts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the vaunted works of Art, The master-stroke is Nature's part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never try to make anyone like you: you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
