More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Image
Pain, indolence, sterility, endless ennui have also their lesson for you, if you are great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Immitation is suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There can never be deep peace between two spirits, never mutual respect, until, in their dialogue, each stands for the whole world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Tragedy is in the eye of the observer, and not in the heart of the sufferer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Everything has its price - and if that price is not paid, not that thing but something else is obtained... it is impossible to get anything without this price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
What is the end of human life? It is not, believe me, the chief end of man that he should make a fortune and beget children whose end is likewise to make a fortune, but it is, in few words, that he should explore himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
In this great society wide lying around us, a critical analysis would find very few spontaneous actions. It is almost all custom and gross sense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We never touch but at points.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We are rich only through what we give, and poor only through what we refuse.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Every man supposes himself not to be fully understood and if there is any truth in him, if he rests at last on the divine soul, I see not how it can be otherwise. The last chamber, the last closet, he must feel, was never opened there is always a residuum unknown, unanalyzable. That is, every man believes that he has a greater possibility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write, though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Proverbs are the literature of reason, or the statements of absolute truth, without qualification. Like the sacred books of each nation, they are the sanctuary of its intuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
One must be an inventor to read well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Five minutes of today are worth as much to me, as five minutes in the next millennium. Let us be poised, and wise, and our own, today.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function living is the functionary.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We walk alone in the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The highest Beauty should be plain set.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
And last of all, high over thought, in the world of morals, Fate appears as vindicator, levelling the high, lifting the low, requiring justice in man, and always striking soon or late when justice is not done. What is useful will last, what is hurtful will sink.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
