More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house is a castle which the King cannot enter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is the property of no individual but is the treasure of all men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course, he who has put forth his total strength in fit actions, has the richest return of wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little fact is worth a whole limbo of dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many a profound genius, I suppose, who fills the world with fame of his exploding renowned errors, is yet everyday posed and baffled by trivial questions at his own supper table.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As every pool reflects the image of the sun, so every thought and thing restores us an image and creature of the supreme Good. Theuniverse is perforated by a million channels for his activity. All things mount and mount.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can be no high civility without a deep morality, though it may not always call itself by that name.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our first mistake is the belief that the circumstance gives the joy which we give to the circumstance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All public facts are to be individualized, all private facts are to be generalized.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is civilization? I answer, the power of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,--a certain robust and radiant physical health or--shall I say?--great volumes of animal heat.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vulgar call good fortune that which really is produced by the calculations of genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing in history to parallel the influence of Jesus Christ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the fine souls who serve us, and not what is called fine society. Fine society is only a self-protection against the vulgarities of the street and the tavern.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
