More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the quality of the moment, not the number of days, or events, or of actors, that imports.
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

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many a man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that despiseth small things will perish by little and little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human body is a magazine of inventions, the patent office, where are the models from which every hint is taken. All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of its limbs and senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion, though a bad regulator, is a powerful spring.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The god or hero of the sculptor is always represented in a transition from that which is representable to the senses, to that which is not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false,--this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the foundation of that interest all men feel in Greek history, letters, art, and poetry, in all its periods, from the Heroic or Homeric age down to the domestic life of the Athenians and Spartans, four or five centuries later? What but this, that every man passes personally through a Grecian period.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God screens us evermore from premature ideas.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Desire is possibility seeking expression.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Coal lay in ledges under the ground since the Flood, until a laborer with pick and windlass brings it to the surface. We may well call it black diamonds. Every basket is power and civilization. For coal is a portable climate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
American mind a wilderness of opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The key to every man is his thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Slavery it is that makes slavery freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
