More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a creditsystem in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The statue is then beautiful when it begins to be incomprehensible, when it is passing out of criticism, and can no longer be defined by compass and measuring-wand, but demands an active imagination to go with it, and to say what it is in the act of doing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strong person makes the law and custom null before his own will.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poise of a plant, the bended tree recovering itself from the strong wind, the vital resources of every vegetable and animal, are also demonstrations of the self-sufficing, and therefore self-relying soul. All history from its highest to its trivial passages is the various record of this power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it is dark enough, men see the stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love is our highest word and the synonym of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest homage to truth is to use it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which dominates our imagination and our thoughts will determine our life and character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams and beasts are two keys by which we find out the keys of our own nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
