More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Judge may be a farmer but he is not to geld his own pigs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature, as we know her, is no saint.... She comes eating and drinking and sinning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy to carp at colleges, and the college, if he will wait for it, will have its own turn. Genius exists there also, but will not answer a call of a committee of the House of Commons. It is rare, precious, eccentric, and darkling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only prudence in life is concentration.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The man (or woman) who can make hard things easy is the educator.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
On bravely through the sunshine and the showers! Time hath his work to do, and we have ours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we meet no gods, it is because we harbor none. If there is grandeur in you, you will find grandeur in porters and sweeps.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is not to be found by touring to Egypt, China, or Peru if you cannot find it at your own door, you will never find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only those books come down which deserve to last . All the gilt edges, vellum and morocco, all the presentation copies to all the libraries will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are of different opinions at different hours, but we always may be said to be at heart on the side of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man in the view of absolute goodness, adores, with total humility. Every step downward, is a step upward. The man who renounceshimself, comes to himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Open the doors of opportunity to talent and virtue and they will do themselves justice, and property will not be in bad hands.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
