More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The great poet makes us feel our own wealth, and then we think less of his compositions. His best communication to our mind is to teach us to despise all he has done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The height of the pinnacle is determined by the breadth of the base.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said, no man can write but one book and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
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
What we have learned from other becomes our own reflection.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let him go where he will, he can only find so much beauty or worth as he carries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books take their place according to their specific gravity as surely as potatoes in a tub.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.
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
Only poetry inspires poetry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never try to make anyone like you: you know, and God knows, that one of you is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is a jealous mistress.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the imagination? Only an arm or weapon of the interior energy only the precursor of the reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
