Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
By the irresistible maturing of the general mind, the Christian traditions have lost their hold.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America means opportunity, freedom, power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Good nature is stronger than tomahawks.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only be admonished by what you already see, not to strike leagues of friendship with cheap persons, where no friendship can be. Our impatience betrays us into rash and foolish alliances which no God attends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
My joy in friends, those sacred people, is my consolation.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Presently we pass to some other object which rounds itself into a whole as did the first for example, a well-laid garden and nothing seems worth doing but the laying~out of gardens.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Public opinion, I am sorry to say, will bear a great deal of nonsense. There is scarcely any absurdity so gross, whether in religion, politics, science or manners, which it will not bear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing settled in manners, but the laws of behavior yield to the energy of the individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hearing ear is always found close to the speaking tongue and no genius can long or often utter anything which is not invited and gladly entertained by men around him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, Faith looks up
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not a man guard his dignity, but let his dignity guard him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The cardinal virtue of a teacher [is] to protect the pupil from his own influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
