More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is nothing but is related to us, nothing that does not interest us,--kingdom, college, tree, horse, or iron show,--the rootsof all things are in man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us unlearn our wisdom of the world. Let us lie low in the Lord's power, and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The good rain, like a bad preacher, does not know when to leave off.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Steam is no stronger now than it was a hundred years ago, but it is put to better use.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Why should you renounce your right to traverse the star-lit deserts of truth, of the premature comforts of an acre, house, and barn? Truth also has its roof, and bed, and board.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is dainty to be sick if you have leisure and convenience for it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man believes that he has greater possibilities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human society is made up of partialities. Each citizen has an interest and a view of his own, which, if followed out to the extreme, would leave no room for any other citizen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The less a man thinks or knows about his virtues, the better we like him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every calamity is a spur and a valuable hint.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth laughs in flowers to see her boastful boys Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs Who steer the plough, but cannot steer their feet Clear of the grave.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Raphael paints wisdom, Handel sings it, Phidias carves it, Shakespeare writes it, Wren builds it, Columbus sails it, Luther preaches it, Washington arms it, Watt mechanizes it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred. I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But genius is religious. It is a larger imbibing of the common heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we call results are beginnings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
