More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A strenuous soul hates cheap success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wealth is in applications of mind to nature and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect, but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on that man as happy, who, when there is question of success, looks into his work for a reply.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All life is an experiment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is that which can do without success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Obedience alone gives the right to command.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we must, and call it by the best names.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If I know your sect, I anticipate your argument
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The highest proof of civility is that the whole public action of the State is directed on securing the greatest good of the greatest number.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But we need not fear that we can lose any thing by the progress of the soul. The soul may be trusted to the end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women have a less accurate measure of time than men there is a clock in Adam, none in Eve.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We first share the life by which things exist, and afterwards see them as appearances in nature, and forget that we have shared their cause.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is true that genius takes its rise out of the mountains of rectitude that all beauty and power which men covet are somehow born out of that Alpine district that any extraordinary degree of beauty in man or woman involves a moral charm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whilst all the world is in pursuit of power, culture corrects the theory of success.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An English family consists of a few persons, who, from youth to age, are found revolving within a few feet of each other, as if tied by some invisible ligature, tense as that cartilage which we have seen attaching the two Siamese.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first steps in Agriculture, Astronomy, Zoology, (those first steps which the farmer, the hunter, and the sailor take,) teach that nature's dice are always loaded that in her heaps and rubbish are concealed sure and useful results.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And truly it demands something godlike in him who cast off the common motives of humanity and ventured to trust himself for a taskmaster.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
