More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of success in society is a certain heartiness and sympathy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Astronomy is a cold, desert science, with all its pompous figures,-depends a little too much on the glass-grinder, too little on the mind. 'T is of no use to show us more planets and systems. We know already what matter is, and more or less of it does not signify.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We postpone our literary work until we have more ripeness and skill to write, and we one day discover that our literary talent wasa youthful effervescence which we have now lost.
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
Often a certain abdication of prudence and foresight is an element of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pride is handsome, economical pride eradicates so many vices, letting none subsist but itself, that it seems as if it were a great gain to exchange vanity for pride.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot forgive another for not being ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever the truth is injured, defend it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is beautiful within and without, forevermore.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate,--no more. I cannot get it nearer to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No institution will be better than the institutor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
