More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is eloquent once in his life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perception is a mirror not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That man is idle who can do something better.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person who goes around saying nice things about you behind your back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The day is always his, who works in it with serenity and great aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a channel through which heaven floweth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a creditsystem in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mark of a man of the world is absence of pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be silly. Be honest. Be kind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the death of my son, now more than two years ago, I seem to have lost a beautiful estate,--no more. I cannot get it nearer to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God will not have his work made manifest by cowards
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When all shoot at one mark, the gods join in the combat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a man lose his balance, and immerse himself in any trades or pleasures for their own sake, he may be a good wheel or pin, but he is not a cultivated man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man known to us only as a celebrity in politics or in trade, gains largely in our esteem if we discover that he has some intellectual taste or skill.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Meek young men grow up in colleges and believe it is their duty to accept the views which books have given, and grow up slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
