Ralph Waldo Emerson
Two touch the string, The harp is dumb.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The book written against fame and learning has the author's name on the title-page.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One single idea may have greater weight than all the men, animals, and machines for a century.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see it only that thyself is here, and art and nature, hope and fate, friends, angels and the supreme being shall not be absent from the chamber where thou sittest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The tempered light of the woods is like a perpetual morning.
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
If you act, you show character if you sit still, you show it if you sleep you show it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, freezes a man like an apple.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society cannot do without cultivated men. As soon as the first wants are satisfied, the higher wants become imperative.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The river knows the way to the sea: Without a pilot it runs and falls, Blessing all lands with its charity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Treat your friend as a spectacle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man moves in all modes, by legs of horses, by wings of winds, by steam, by gas of balloon, by electricity, and stands on tiptoe threatening to hunt the eagle in his own element.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Moral qualities rule the world, but at short distances the senses are despotic.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are reformers in the spring and summer, but in autumn we stand by the old. Reformers in the morning, and conservers at night.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
