More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
God has delegated himself to a million deputies.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remarkable trait in the American Character is the union, not very infrequent, of Yankee cleverness with spiritualism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All science is transcendental or else passes away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Napoleon said of Massena, that he was not himself until the battle began to go against him then, when the dead began to fall in ranks around him, awoke his powers of combination, and he put on terror and victory as a robe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man's task [his 'great dream' and impassioned life-goal] is his life preserver.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The rhyme of the poet Modulates the king's affairs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,--do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
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
It is never too late to do right.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we love goodness and not stealing, yet also we love freedom and not preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dice of God are always loaded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are disgusted by gossip yet it is of importance to keep the angels in their proprieties.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art is the need to create but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I need is someone who will make me do what I can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral equalizes all enriches, empowers all. It is the coin which buys all, and which all find in their pocket. Under the whipof the driver, the slave shall feel his equality with saints and heroes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect, but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is the rich man in whom the people are rich, and he is the poor man in whom the people are poor and how to give access to themasterpieces of art and nature, is the problem of civilization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
