More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Teaching is the perpetual end and office of all things. Teaching, instruction is the main design that shines through the sky and earth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is commonly observed that a sudden wealth, like a prize drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not permanently enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the rapid wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny, and the treasure is quickly dissipated.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best lightning rod for your protection is your own spine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day for toil, an hour for sport, but for a friend is life too short.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Line in Nature is not found Unit and Universe are round.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cheapness of man is every day's tragedy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Condense some daily experience into a glowing symbol and an audience is electrified.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose an opportunity to see anything that is beautiful. It is God's handwriting a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who can see through its pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis curious that we only believe as deeply as we live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As the farmer casts into the ground the finest ears of his grain, the time will come when we too shall hold nothing back, but shall eagerly convert more than we now possess into means and powers, when we shall be willing to sow the sun and the moon for seeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No picture of life can have any veracity that does not admit the odious facts. A man's power is hooped in by a necessity, which, by many experiments, he touches on every side, until he learns its arc.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of success in society is a certain heartiness and sympathy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science surpasses the old miracles of mythology.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
So far as a person thinks they are free.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yourself a newborn bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is the power to labor better and more availably. Deserve thy genius: exalt it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe it is the conviction of the purest men, that the net amount of man and man does not much vary. Each is incomparably superior to his companion in some faculty. His want of skill in other directions, has added to his fitness for his own work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is a game of circles.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
