More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prudence is the virtue of the senses. It is the science of appearances. It is the outmost action of the inward life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Britain, America, lie folded already in the first man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The intellect is vagabond, and our system of education fosters restlessness. Our minds travel when our bodies are forced to stay at home. We imitate and what is imitation but the travelling of the mind?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Draw, if thou canst, the mystic line, Severing rightly his from thine, Which is human, which divine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
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
It is a capital blunder as you discover, when another man recites his charities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He that despiseth small things will perish by little and little.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The mind does not create what it perceives, any more than the eye creates the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of course you will insist on modesty in the children, and respect to their teachers, but if the boy stops you in your speech, cries out that you are wrong and sets you right, hug him!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret in education lies in respecting the student.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must thank his defects, and stand in some terror of his talents. A transcendent talent draws so largely on his forces as tolame him a defect pays him revenues on the other side.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Explore, and explore. Be neither chided nor flattered out of your position of perpetual inquiry. Neither dogmatize or accept another's dogmatism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is not to be found by touring to Egypt, China, or Peru if you cannot find it at your own door, you will never find it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter's at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,--faint copies of an invisible archetype.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
