More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Economy does not consist in saving the coal, but in using the time while it burns.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we must obey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the red slayer think he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways, I keep and pass and turn again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is the perennial miracle which the soul worketh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We can only obey our own polarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the antidote to fear. [especially as fear often stands for false evidence appearing real!]
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In spite of warnings, change rarely occurs until the status quo becomes more painful than change. People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we can, and then make a theory to prove our performance the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men who know the same things are not long the best company for each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is too thin a screen the glory of the omnipresent God bursts through everywhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Invention breeds invention.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a search after power and this is an element with which the world is so saturated,-there is no chink or crevice in which it is not lodged,-that no honest seeking goes unrewarded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is saying what is in your heart, because it's in everyone's heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
