More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Image
When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
All sensible people are selfish, and nature is tugging at every contract to make the terms of it fair.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
When we see a soul whose acts are all regal, graceful, and pleasant as roses, we must thank God that such things can be and are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There is a tendency for things to right themselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
A state of war or anarchy, in which law has little force, is so far valuable, that it puts every man on trial. The man of principle is known as such, and even in the fury of faction is respected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no skepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
No man can have society upon his own terms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
That you are fair or wise is vain, Or strong, or rich, or generous You must have also the untaught strain That sheds beauty on the rose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
It is said, no man can write but one book and if a man have a defect, it is apt to leave its impression on all his performances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Is there a difference? Yes. We are in harmony with nature, but never at peace.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
The philosophy of waiting is sustained by all the oracles of the universe.
