A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Rude poets of the tavern hearth, squandering your unquoted mirth, which keeps the ground, and never soars, while jake retorts, and reuben roars tough and screaming, as birch-bark, goes like bullet to its mark while the solid curse and jeer never balk the waiting ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Judge may be a farmer but he is not to geld his own pigs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A beautiful woman is a practical poet, taming her savage mate, planting tenderness, hope and eloquence in all whom she approaches.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have heard that death takes us away from ill things, not from good. I have heard that when we pronounce the name of man we pronounce the belief of immortality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The language of the street is always strong.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
First be a good animal.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pain, indolence, sterility, endless ennui have also their lesson for you, if you are great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
