More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a public oration is an escapade, a non-committal, an apology, a gag, and not a communication, not a speech, not a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A good indignation brings out all one's powers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When it is dark enough, men see the stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines but meet on what common ground remains,--if onlythat the sun shines, and the rain rains for both the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Housekeeping is not beautiful it cheers and raises neither the husband, the wife, nor the child neither the host nor the guestit oppresses women. A house kept to the end of prudence is laborious without joy a house kept to the end of display is impossible to all but a few women, and their success is dearly bought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must ride alternately on the horses of his private and his public nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a hero, not because he is braver than anyone else, but because he is brave for 10 minutes longer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man must know how to estimate a sour face. The sour face of the multitude, like thier sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and the newspaper directs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The action of the soul is oftener in that which is felt and left unsaid than in that which is said in any conversation. It broods over every society, and men unconsciously seek for it in each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shakspeare is the only biographer of Shakspeare and even he can tell nothing, except to the Shakspeare in us that is, to our most apprehensive and sympathetic hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A determined man, by his very attitude and the tone of his voice, puts a stop to defeat, and begins to conquer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sleep is not, death is not Who seem to die Live. House you were born in, Friends of your spring-time, old man and young maid, Day's toil and it's guerdon, They are all vanishing, Fleeing to fables, Cannot be moored
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are what their mothers made them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men lose their tempers in defending their taste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suppose you could never explain to the most ingenous molusk that such a creature as a whale existed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
