More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
People say law but they mean wealth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
All the great ages have been ages of belief.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Economy does not consist in saving the coal, but in using the time while it burns.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a principle which is the basis of things, which all speech aims to say, and all action to evolve, a simple, quiet, undescribed, undescribable presence, dwelling very peacefully in us, our rightful lord: we are not to do, but to let do not to work, but to be worked upon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all the reported miracles grow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It seems as if nature, in regarding the geologic night behind her, when, in five or six millenniums, she had turned out five or six men, as Homer, Phidias, Menu, and Columbus, was no wise discontented with the result. These samples attested the virtue of the tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we live truly, we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong, as it is for the weak to be weak.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no thought in any mind, but it quickly tends to convert itself into power.
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
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our strength grows out of our weakness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty through my senses stole I yielded myself to the perfect whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No matter how often defeated, you are born to victory.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A philosopher must be more than a philosopher.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The university must be retrospective. The gale that gives direction to the vanes on all its towers blows out of antiquity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not gold, but only man can make a people great and strong men who, for truth and honor's sake, stand fast and suffer long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
