More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot make a cheap palace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In imitation is a bit suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The poet's habit of living should be set on a key so low that the common influences should delight him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,--do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot institute, without peril of charlatanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Immitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that can heroically endure adversity will bear prosperity with equal greatest of the soul for the mind that cannot be dejected by the former is not likely to be transported without the latter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spoons and skimmers you can be undistinguishably together but vases and statues require each a pedestal for itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Plant your DREAMS and miracles will grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The resources of the scholar are proportioned to his confidence in the attributes of the intellect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We lie in the lap of immense intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
None believeth in the soul of man, but only in some man or person old and departed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we follow the truth, it will bring us out safe at last.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth, and goodness, and beauty, are but different faces of the same All
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
If the race is good, so is the place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let no one honour me with tears, or bury me with lamentation. Why? Because I fly hither and thither, living in the mouths of me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An eye can threaten like a loaded and levelled gun, or it can insult like hissing or kicking or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance for joy. ... One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye it transcends speech it is the bodily symbol of identity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meek young men grow up in colleges and believe it is their duty to accept the views which books have given, and grow up slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
