More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man's title to fame.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is a well-made man who has a good determination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like man, but not men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that whoever loves is in no condition old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men too superior to be seen except by a few, as there are notes too high for the scale of most ears.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How beautiful to have the church always open, so that every tired wayfaring man may come in and be soothed by all that art can suggest of a better world when he is weary with this.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The babe in arms is a channel through which the energies we call fate, love, and reason visibly stream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every sweet has its sour every evil its good.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hidden away in the inner nature of the real man is the law of his life, and someday he will discover it and consciously make use of it. He will heal himself, make himself happy and prosperous, and life in an entirely different world. For he will have discovered that life is from within and not from without.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A self-denial, no less austere than the saint's, is demanded of the scholar. He must worship truth, and forgo all things for that,and choose defeat and pain, so that his treasure in thought is thereby augmented.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The disease with which the human mind now labors is want of faith
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature hates calculators.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The power of love, as the basis of a State, has never been tried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that loveth maketh his own the grandeur he loves
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot institute, without peril of charlatanism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
