More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is an intimate interdependence of intellect and morals.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man exists for his own sake and not to add a laborer to the State.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature will not let us fret and fume. She does not like our benevolence or our learning much better than she likes our frauds andwars. When we come out of the caucus, or the bank, or the abolition-convention, or the temperance-meeting, or the transcendental club, into the fields and woods, she says to us, so hot? my little Sir.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We love force and we care very little how it is exhibited.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Is it not better to intimate our astonishment as we pass through this world if it be only for a moment ere we are swallowed up in the yeast of the abyss? I will lift up my hands and say Kosmos.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are immersed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you cannot be free be as free as you can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who live to the future must always appear selfish to those who live to the present.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commerce is a game of skill which everyone cannot play and few can play well.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No one has a prosperity so high and firm that two or three words can't dishearten it.
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 be our own before we can be another's.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of drunkenness is, that it insulates us in thought, whilst it unites us in feeling.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vanishing, volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the adamantine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
