More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The finished man of the world must eat of every apple once.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We judge of man's wisdom by his hope.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do not count a man's years until he has nothing else to count.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Consideration is the soil in which wisdom may be expected to grow, and strength be given to every up-springing plant of duty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The populace drags down the gods to their own level.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sentimentalists ... adopt whatever merit is in good repute, and almost make it hateful with their praise. The warmer their expressions, the colder we feel.... Cure the drunkard, heal the insane, mollify the homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but what lessons can be devised for the debauchee of sentiment?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A life in harmony with nature, the love of truth and virtue, will purge the eyes to understanding her text.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When its errands are noble and adequate, a steamboat bridging the Atlantic between Old and New England, and arriving at its ports with the punctuality of a planet, is a step of man into harmony with nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. In fact, it is as difficult to appropriate the thoughts of others as it is to invent.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
