More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The word Miracle, as pronounced by Christian churches, gives a false impression it is Monster. It is not one with the blowing clover and the falling rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier. In the divided or social state these functions are parcelled out to individuals, each of whom aims to do his stint of the joint work, whilst each other performs his.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In science we have to consider two things: power and circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live in succession, in division, in parts and particles. Meantime, within man, is the soul of the whole the wise silence the universal beauty to which every part and particle is equally related the eternal One.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By God, I will not obey this filthy enactment!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-trust is the first secret of success, the belief that if you are here the authorities of the universe put you here, and for cause, or with some task strictly appointed you in your constitution, and so long as you work at that you are well and successful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The education of the will is the object of our existence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For flowers that bloom about our feet For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet For song of bird, and hum of bee For all things fair we hear or see, Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has a way of demanding that you live it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intellect is a fire rash and pitiless it melts this wonderful bone-house which is called man. Genius even, as it is the greatestgood, is the greatest harm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
