More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sea is masculine, the type of active strength. Look, what egg-shells are drifting all over it, each one, like ours, filled with men in ecstasies of terror, alternating with cockney conceit, as the sea is rough or smooth. Is this sad-colored circle an eternal cemetery?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pest of society are the egotist, they are dull and bright, sacred and profane, course and fine. It is a disease that like the flu falls on all constitutions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We seek our friend not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion which would appropriate him to ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strenuous soul hates cheap success. It is the ardor of the assailant that makes the vigor of the defendant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proportion is almost impossible to human beings. There is no one who does not exaggerate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot overstate our debt to the Past, but the moment has the supreme claim.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No hope so bright but is the beginning of its own fulfilment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The preamble of thought, the transition through which it passes from the unconscious to the conscious, is action. Only so much do I know, as I have lived. Instantly we know whose words are loaded with life, and whose not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Plant your DREAMS and miracles will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Throughout the ages there have always been those who have been willing to go beyond the norms and reach for that unknown and distant star.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Evil is merely privative, not absolute: it is like cold, which is the privation of beat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind will quote whether the tongue does or not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We read often with as much talent as we write.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the duty of men to judge men only by their actions. Our faculties furnish us with no means of arriving at the motive, the character, the secret self. We call the tree good from its fruits, and the man, from his works.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think sometimes could I only have music on my own terms, could I live in a great city, and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves, that were a bath and a medicine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Where the banana grows man is sensual and cruel.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
