More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
My angel,-his name is Freedom,- Choose him to be your king He shall cut pathways east and west, And fend you with his wing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finest poems of the world have been expedients to get bread.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The need for a rational consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many photographers think they are photographing nature when they are only caricaturing her.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each of us sees in others what we carry in our own hearts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a time when a man distinguishes the idea of felicity from the idea of wealth it is the beginning of wisdom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thus is man made equal to every event. He can face danger for the right. A poor, tender, painful body, he can run into flame or bullets or pestilence, with duty for his guide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human body is a magazine of inventions, the patent office, where are the models from which every hint is taken. All the tools and engines on earth are only extensions of its limbs and senses.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the doctrine of the popular music-masters, that whoever can speak can sing. So, probably, every man is eloquent once in his life. Our temperaments differ in capacity of heat, or
