More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a man of force and he makes room for many. Society is a troop of thinkers and the best heads among them take the best places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I DO not count the hours I spend In wandering by the sea The forest is my loyal friend, Like God it useth me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will no longer confer, differ, refer, defer, prefer, or suffer. I renounce the whole tribe of fero. I embrace absolute life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An expense of ends to means is fateMorganization tyrannizing over character. The menagerie, or forms and powers of the spine, is a book of fate: the bill of the bird, the skull of the snake, determines tyrannically its limits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A forte always makes a foible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Behind us, as we go, all things assume pleasing forms, as clouds do far off. Not only things familiar and stale, but even the tragic and terrible, are comely, as they take their place in the pictures of memory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Homeopathy is insignificant as an act of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I was praised I lost my time, for instantly I turned around to look at the work I had thought slightly of, and that day I made nothing new.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If men would avoid that general language and general manner in which they strive to hide all that is peculiar, and would say only what was uppermost in their own minds, after their own individual manner, every man would be interesting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Out from the heart of Nature rolled The burdens of the Bible old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
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
Women, as most susceptible, are the best index of the coming hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams and beasts are two keys by which we find out the keys of our own nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My son, a perfect little boy of five years and three months, had ended his earthly life. You can never sympathize with me you can never know how much of me such a young child can take away. A few weeks ago I accounted myself a very rich man, and now the poorest of all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, of the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
