More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I am the devil's child, I will live then, by the devil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar, and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds, after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There comes a period of the imagination to each--a later youth--the power of beauty, the power of looks, of poetry.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As sunbeams stream through liberal space And nothing jostle or displace, So waved the pine-tree through my thought And fanned the dreams it never brought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument that makes a poem, - a thought so passionate and alive that like the spirit of a plant or an animal it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is grave alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The order of things consents to virtue.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no great and no small To the Soul that maketh all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man takes care that his neighbor shall not cheat him. But a day comes when he begins to care that he does not cheat his neighbor. Then all goes well. He has changed his market cart into a chariot of the sun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eye is the first circle the horizon which it forms is the second and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathern boxes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The truth, the hope of any time, must always be sought in minorities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A weed is a plant we've found no use for yet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The ancestor of every action is a thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
