More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Society cannot do without cultivated men. As soon as the first wants are satisfied, the higher wants become imperative.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A rush of thoughts is the only conceivable prosperity that can come to us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No facts are to me sacred none are profane I simply experiment, an endless seeker, with no past at my back.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every body we know surrounds himself with a fine house, fine books, conservatory, gardens, equipage, and all manner of toys, as screens to interpose between himself and his guest. Does it not seem as if man was of a very sly, elusive nature, and dreaded nothing so much as a full rencontre front to front with his fellow?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The shoemaker makes a good shoe because he makes nothing else.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I will no longer confer, differ, refer, defer, prefer, or suffer. I renounce the whole tribe of fero. I embrace absolute life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men or they are no better than dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the true mythology, Love is an immortal child, and Beauty leads him as a guide nor can we express a deeper sense than when we say, Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We don't grow old. When we cease to grow, we become old.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As soon as there is life there is danger.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Knowledge is the knowing that we cannot know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The remedy for all blunders, the cure of blindness, the cure of crime, is love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty is an outward gift, which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men's actions are too strong for them. Show me a man who has acted, and who has not been the victim and slave of his action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of Nature and the Soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Foolish, whenever you take the meanness and formality of that thing you do, instead of converting it into the obedient spiracle ofyour character and aims.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
