More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a perpetual instruction in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The merit claimed for the Anglican Church is that, if you let it alone, it will let you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must set up a strong present tense against all rumors of wrath, past and to come.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world - this shadow of the soul, or other me - lies wide around. Its attractions are the keys which unlock my thoughts and make me acquainted with myself. I run eagerly into this resounding tumult... So much only of life as I know by experience... The true scholar grudges every opportunity of action past by, as a loss of power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I should as soon think of swimming across Charles River, when I wish to go to Boston, as of reading all my books in originals, when I have them rendered for me in my mother tongue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The President proclaims war, and those Senators who dissent are not those who know better, but those who can afford to...Democracy becomes a government of bullies tempered by editors.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But genius is religious. It is a larger imbibing of the common heart.

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. How far off, how cool, how chaste the persons look,begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every industrious man, in every lawful calling, is a useful man. And one principal reason why men are so often useless is that they neglect their own profession or calling, and divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is a result of doing good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is wanted, and no man is wanted much.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The noblest ministry of nature is to stand as the apparition of God.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
