More quotes by 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
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In spite of warnings, change rarely occurs until the status quo becomes more painful than change. People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we have broken our god of tradition, and ceased from our god of rhetoric, then may God fire the heart with His presence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live ruins amid ruins.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth gathers itself spotless and unhurt after all our surrenders and concealments and partisanship never hurt by the treachery or ruin of its best defenders, whether Luther, or William Penn, or St. Paul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Spring still makes spring in the mind When sixty years are told: Love wakes anew this throbbing heart, And we are never old Over the winter glaciers I see the summer glow And through the wind-piled snowdrift The warm rosebuds below.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But it is a cold, lifeless business when you go to the shops to buy something, which does not represent your life and talent, but a goldsmith's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Time is indeed the theater and seat of illusions nothing is so ductile and elastic. The mind stretches an hour to a century, and dwarfs an age to an hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Divine persons are character born, or, to borrow a phrase from Napoleon, they are victory organized.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
