More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The craft with which the world is made runs also into the mind and character of men. No man is quite sane each has a vein of folly in his composition, a slight determination of blood to the head, to make sure of holding him hard to some one point which Nature has taken to heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Look out! Behind you!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us make education brave and preventive. Politics is an afterwork, a poor patching. We are always a little late... We shall one day learn to supercede politics by education... We must begin higher up, namely in Education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Commonsense is the wick of the candle.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls. The least admixture of a lie-for example, the taint of vanity, the least attempt to make a good impression, a favorable appearance-will instantly vitiate the effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In Nature, all is useful, all is beautiful
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship should be surrounded with ceremonies and respects, and not crushed into corners.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Times are the masquerade of the eternities trivial to the dull, tokens of noble and majestic agents to the wise the receptacle in which the Past leaves its history the quarry out of which the genius of today is building up the Future.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A walk in the woods is only an exalted dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But the nomads were the terror of all those whom the soil or the advantages of the market had induced to build towns. Agriculture therefore was a religious injunction, because of the perils of the state from nomadism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
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
Some of your griefs you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you've endured From evils that never arrived.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Improve your spare moments and they will become the brightest gems in your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To live the greatest number of good hours is wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think sometimes could I only have music on my own terms, could I live in a great city, and know where I could go whenever I wished the ablution and inundation of musical waves, that were a bath and a medicine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
