More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty rests on necessities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Personal rights, universally the same, demand a government framed on the ratio of the census: property demands a government framedon the ratio of owners and of owning.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we do not call education is more precious than that which we call so. We form no guess, at the time of receiving a thought, of its comparative value. And education often wastes its effort in attempts to thwart and balk this natural magnetism, which is sure to select what belongs to it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our strength grows out of our weakness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fashion understands itself good-breeding and personal superiority of whatever country readily fraternize with those of every other. The chiefs of savage tribes have distinguished themselves in London and Paris, by the purity of their tournure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The art of sculpture is long ago perished to any real effect... it is the game of a rude and youthful people, and not the manly labour of a wise and spiritual nation.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We must set up a strong present tense against all rumors of wrath, past and to come.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philanthropies and charities have a certain air of quackery.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it is dark enough, men see the stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the house that shelters a friend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Proverbs, words, and grammar inflections convey the public sense with more purity and precision, than the wisest individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All reform aims, in some one particular, to let the soul have its way through us in other words, to engage us to obey.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
