Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wealth is in applications of mind to nature and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is made to conspire with spirit to emancipate us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The love of novels is the preference of sentiment to the senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am so much a Unitarian as this: that I believe the human mind can admit but one God, and that every effort to pay religious homage to more than one being goes to take away all right ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The perception of the comic is a tie of sympathy with other men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commerce is a game of skill which everyone cannot play and few can play well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
