More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The learned and the studious of thought have no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direction in some degree disqualifies them to think truly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of Education lies in respecting the pupil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening we shall hear the right word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the only elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The persons who constitute the natural aristocracy, are not found in the actual aristocracy, or, only on its edge as the chemicalenergy of the spectrum is found to be greatest just outside of the spectrum.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The borrower runs in his own debt.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We learn that God IS that he is in me and that all things are shadows of him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Literature is eavesdropping.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The State is our neighbors our neighbors are the State.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Railroad iron is a magician's rod, in its power to evoke the sleeping energies of land and water.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dear to us are those who love us... but dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life they build a heaven before us whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Observe how every truth and every error, each a thought of someone's mind, clothes itself with societies, houses, cities, language, ceremonies, newspapers
