More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of a master is his success in bringing all men around to his opinion twenty years later.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meek young men grow up in libraries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are the prisoners of ideas. They catch us up for moments into their heaven, and so fully engage us, that we take no thought forthe morrow, gaze like children, without an effort to make them our own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Solvency is maintained by means of a national debt, on the principle, If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One thing is forever good That one thing is Success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We grant no dukedoms to the few, We hold like rights and shall Equal on Sunday in the pew, On Monday in the mall. For what avail the plough or sail, Or land, or life, if freedom fail?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must consider what a rich realm he abdicates when he becomes a conformist.
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
No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man's power is hooped in by a necessity, which, by many experiments, he touches on every side, until he learns its arc.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What art can paint or gild any object in after life with the glow which nature gives to the first baubles of childhood? St. Peter's cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is to be lived, not controlled.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has no memory. That which proceeds in succession might be remembered, but that which is coexistent, or ejaculated from a deeper cause, as yet far from being conscious, knows not its own tendency.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hope in these days we have heard the last of conformity and consistency. Let the words be gazetted and ridiculous henceforward.Instead of the gong for dinner, let us hear a whistle from the Spartan fife.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A rush of thoughts is the only conceivable prosperity that can come to us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no doctrine of the Reason which will bear to be taught by the Understanding.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Skepticism is slow suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
