More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
My joy in friends, those sacred people, is my consolation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem the shepherd, his lamb the farmer, corn the miner, a stone the painter, his picture the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it's dark enough men see stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do your thing, and I shall know you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous, or when they are most luxurious. They are conservatives after dinner, or before taking their rest when they are sick or aged. In the morning, or when their intellect or their conscience has been aroused, when they hear music, or when they read poetry, they are radicals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine, until an equal mind and heart finds and publishes it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man should give us a sense of mass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a luxury to be understood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You send your child to the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys who educate him. You send him to the Latin class, but much of histuition comes, on his way to school, from the shop- windows.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you take in a lie, you must take in all that belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is another name for opportunity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Washington, where an insignificant individual may trespass on a nation's time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are men whose language is strong and defying enough, yet their eyes and their actions ask leave of other men to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tis a short sight to limit our faith in laws to those of gravity, of chemistry, of botany, and so forth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
