More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a series of surprises and would not be worth taking or keeping if it were not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women see better than men. Men see lazily, if they do not expect to act. Women see quite without any wish to act.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is curious that Christianity, which is idealism, is sturdily defended by the brokers, and steadily attacked by the idealists.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever is old corrupts, and the past turns to snakes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The boxer's ring is the enjoyment of the part of society whose animal nature alone has been developed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded. It is a doctrine alike of the oldest and of the newest philosophy, that man is one, and that you cannot injure any member, without a sympathetic injury to all the members
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ask for long life, but 'tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The days come and go but they say nothing, and if we do not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as silently away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should give us a sense of mass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is the laboratory and workshop of the student.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as civilization is essentially one of property, of fences, of exclusiveness, it will be mocked by delusions. Our riches will leave us sick there will be bitterness in our laughter, and our wine will burn our mouth. Only that good profits which we can taste with all doors open, and which serves all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every revolution was first a thought in one man's mind and when the same thought occurs to another man, it is the key to that era.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
