More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The love of novels is the preference of sentiment to the senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole value of the dime is in knowing what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The public values the invention more than the inventor does. The inventor knows there is much more and better where this came from.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a channel through which heaven floweth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out of Plato come all things that are still written and debated about among men of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spurious prudence, making the senses final, is the god of sots and cowards, and is the subject of all comedy. It is nature's joke, and therefore literature's. True prudence limits this sensualism by admitting the knowledge of an internal and real world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose manners have the same essential splendor as the simple and awful sculpture on the friezes of the Parthenon, and the remains of the earliest Greek art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we must obey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is commonly said by farmers, that a good pear or apple costs no more time or pains to rear, than a poor one so I would have no work of art, no speech, or action, or thought, or friend, but the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the whole of history is in one man, it is all to be explained from individual experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Greatness once and forever has down with opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet some natures are too good to be spoiled by praise, and wherever the vein of thought reaches down into the profound, there is no danger from vanity. Solemn friends will warn them of the danger of the head's being turned by the flourish of trumpets, but they can afford to smile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
From Washington, proverbially the city of distances, through all its cities, states, and territories, it is a country of beginnings, of projects, of designs, and expectations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
