More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would study, I would know, I would admire forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men's thinkings run laterally, never vertically.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Most people, who have quit smoking, have had at least one unsuccessful try in the past. It is not important how many times you try to quit. The only important thing is, that eventually you stay quit
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All are needed by each one Nothing is fair or good alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The German intellect wants the French sprightliness, the fine practical understanding of the English, and the American adventure but it has a certain probity, which never rests in a superficial performance, but asks steadily, To what end? A German public asks for a controlling sincerity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My evening visitors, if they cannot see the clock should find the time in my face.

The reason why all men honor love is because it looks up, and not down aspires and not despairs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a man thinketh, so is he, and as a man chooseth, so is he.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We call the beautiful the highest, because it appears to us the golden mean, escaping the dowdiness of the good and the heartlessness of the true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men consort in camp and town But the poet dwells alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The babe in arms is a channel through which the energies we call fate, love, and reason visibly stream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever limits us we call fate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Alas for America as I must so often say, the ungirt, the diffuse, the profuse, procumbent, one wide ground juniper, out of which no cedar, no oak will rear up a mast to the clouds! It all runs to leaves, to suckers, to tendrils, to miscellany. The air is loaded with poppy, with imbecility, with dispersion, & sloth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Politics is a deleterious profession, like some poisonous handicrafts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We may be partial, but Fate is not.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of genius is privileged only as far as he is genius. His dullness is as insupportable as any other dullness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
