More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All mankind love a lover.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is made of the same atoms the world is, he shares the same impressions, predispositions, and destiny. When his mind is illuminated, when his heart is kind, he throws himself joyfully into the sublime order, and does, with knowledge, what the stones do by structure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is a well-made man who has a good determination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is great but the inexhaustible wealth of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No institution will be better than the institutor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And, in fine, the ancient precept, Know thyself, and the modern precept, Study nature, become at last one maxim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We walk alone in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We don't grow old. When we cease to grow, we become old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Providence has a wild, rough, incalculable road to its end, and it is of no use to try to whitewash its huge, mixed instrumentalities, or to dress up that terrific benefactor in a clean shirt and white neckcloth of a student in divinity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet America is a poem in our eyes its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus grows up fashion, an equivocal semblance, the most puissant, the most fantastic and frivolous, the most feared and followed, and which morals and violence assault in vain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the property of him who can entertain it, and of him who can adequately place it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is not prayer a study of truth, a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the first place, all books that get fairly into the vital air of the world were written by the successful class, by the affirming and advancing class, who utter what tens of thousands feel though they cannot say.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be a gift and a benediction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
