More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is the inlet and may become the outlet of all there is in God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in fate, believe in it, at least, for your good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every situation do the thing you fear. If you do the thing you fear, the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Necessity does everything well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear,- Knowledge, Use and Reason, with its higher aids.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Noblesse oblige or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
a good reader makes a good book
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think no virtue goes with size.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What art can paint or gild any object in after life with the glow which nature gives to the first baubles of childhood? St. Peter's cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a dollar is to buy just things a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. A dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I cannot find language of sufficient energy to convey my sense of the sacredness of private integrity. All men, all things, the state, the church, yea the friends of the heart are phantasms and unreal beside the sanctuary of the heart. With so much awe, with so much fear, let it be respected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought dissolves the material universe by carrying the mind up into a sphere where all is plastic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man I meet is in some way my superior...
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But do your work, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
