More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The public values the invention more than the inventor does. The inventor knows there is much more and better where this came from.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Oversoul is before Time, and Time, Father of all else, is one of his children.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only an inventor knows how to borrow, and every man is or should be an inventor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great men come out of the middle classes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The babe in arms is a channel through which the energies we call fate, love, and reason visibly stream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Senators and presidents have climbed so high with pain enough, not because they think the place specially agreeable, but as an apology for real worth, and to vindicate their manhood in our eyes. This conspicuous chair is their compensation to themselves for being of a poor, cold, hard nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis weak and vicious people who cast the blame on Fate. The right use of Fate is to bring up our conduct to the loftiness of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us learn the meaning of economy. Economy is a high human office,--a sacrament when its aim is grand, when it is the prudence of simple tastes, when it is practised for freedom or for love or devotion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Action is the process whereby what is not fully formed passes into expressive consciousness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only joy in his being mine, is that the not mine is mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My life should be unique it should be an alms, a battle, a conquest, a medicine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
