More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but willpick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
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
Therefore is nature ever the ally of Religion: lends her all her pomp and riches to the religious sentiment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way to mend the bad world is to create the right world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a crack in everything God has made
Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
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
A rush of thoughts is the only conceivable prosperity that can come to us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Go, speed the stars of Thought On to their shining goals - The sower scatters broad his seed, The wheat thou strew'st be souls.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are lenses through which we read our own minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem the shepherd, his lamb the farmer, corn the miner, a stone the painter, his picture the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Had I but written as many odes in praise of Muhammad and Ali as I have composed for King Mahmud, they would have showered a hundred blessings on me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great men come out of the middle classes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The problem of restoring to the world original and eternal beauty is solved by redemption of the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
