More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A few strong instincts and a few plain rules suffice us
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is the power to labor better and more availably. Deserve thy genius: exalt it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The pulpit and the press have many commonplaces denouncing the thirst for wealth, but if men should take these moralists at their word, and leave off aiming to be rich, the moralists would rush to rekindle at all hazards this love of power in the people, lest civilization should be undone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we are, so we do and as we do, so is it done to us we are the builders of our fortunes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The measure of a master is his success in bringing all men around to his opinion twenty years later.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of light and of heat translate each other-so do the laws of sound and colour and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Marriage (in what is called the spiritual world) is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am become a transparent eyeball.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Well, the world has a million writers. One would think, then, that good thought would be as familiar as air and water, and the gifts of each new hour would exclude the last. Yet we can count all our good books nay, I remember any beautiful verse for twenty years.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is not so much a workman in the world as he is a suggestion of that he should be. Men walk as prophecies of the next age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What you persist in doing gets easier. The task hasn't changed, but your ability to do it has increased.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am sure of this, that by going much alone a man will get more of a noble courage in thought and word than from all the wisdom that is in books.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A believer, a mind whose faith is consciousness, is never disturbed because other persons do not yet see the fact which he sees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great men are sincere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do that which you fear to do, and the fear will die.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
