More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is said, no man can write but one book and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Sun is the sole inconsumable fireAnd God is the sole inexhaustible Giver.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief and love,--a believing love will relieve us of a vast load of care. O my brothers, God exists. There is a soul at the centre of nature, and over the will of every man, so that none of us can wrong the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose manners have the same essential splendor as the simple and awful sculpture on the friezes of the Parthenon, and the remains of the earliest Greek art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How cunningly nature hides every wrinkle of her inconceivable antiquity under roses and violets and morning dew!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you criticize a fine genius, the odds are that you are out of your reckoning, and, instead of the poet, are censuring your owncaricature of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is as lazy as he dares to be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dice of God are always loaded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take the place and attitude to which you see your unquestionable right, and all men acquiesce.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not the tie be mercenary, though the service is measured in money. Make yourself necessary to somebody. Do not make life hard to any.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Half a man's wisdom goes with his courage.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How silent, how spacious, what room for all, yet without place to insert an atom--in graceful succession, in equal fullness, in balanced beauty, the dance of the hours goes forward still. Like an odor of incense, like a strain of music, like a sleep, it is inexact and boundless. It will not be dissected, nor unraveled, nor shown.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is too thin a screen the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We fancy men are individuals so are pumpkins but every pumpkin in the field goes through every point of pumpkin history.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love force and we care very little how it is exhibited.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
