More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
They think him the best dressed man, whose dress is so fit for his use that you cannot notice or remember to describe it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good deal of our politics is physiological.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though I am weak, yet God, when prayed, Cannot withhold his conquering aid.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is only rich who owns the day. There is no king, rich man, fairy, or demon who possesses such power as that.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The near explains the far. The drop is a small ocean. A man is related to all nature. This perception of the worth of the vulgar is fruitful in discoveries. Goethe, in this very thing the most modern of the moderns, has shown us, as none ever did, the genius of the ancients.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see it only that thyself is here, and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels and the supreme being shall not be absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some thoughts always find us young, and keep us so. Such a thought is the love of the universal and eternal beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course, he who has put forth his total strength in fit actions, has the richest return of wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I do not know what arguments mean in reference to any expression of a thought. I delight in telling what I think but if you ask me how I dare say so, or why it is so, I am the most helpless of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perception is a mirror not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great believers are always reckoned infidels, impracticable, fantastic, atheistic, and really men of no account. The spiritualist finds himself driven to express his faith by a series of skepticisms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poverty, Frost, Famine, Rain, Disease, are the beadles and guardsmen that hold us to Common Sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Money often costs too much, and power and pleasure are not cheap.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
