More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Well,' said Red Jacket [to someone complaining that he had not enough time], 'I suppose you have all there is.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Old and new make the warp and woof of every moment. There is no thread that is not a twist of these two strands.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We animate what we can see, and we see only what we animate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has a vocation. The talent is the call.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The French woman says, 'I am a woman and a Parisienne, and nothing foreign to me appears altogether human.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would serve your brother it is fit for you to serve him, do not take back your words when you find that prudent people do not commend you. Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant and broken the monotony of a decorous age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Divine persons are character born, or, to borrow a phrase from Napoleon, they are victory organized.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many might go to Heaven with half the labor they go to hell.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now every one must do after his kind, be he asp or angel, and these must.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks. See the line from a sufficient distance and it straightens itself to the average tendency.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be great is to be misunderstood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
