More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry being ... when we look from the center outward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How can he [today's writer] be honored, when he does not honor himself when he loses himself in the crowd when he is no longer the lawgiver, but the sycophant, ducking to the giddy opinion of a reckless public.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Things bring their own philosophy with them, that is, prudence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house praises the carpenter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Put the argument into a concrete shape, into an image, some hard phrase, round and solid as a ball, which they can see and handle and carry home with them, and the cause is half won.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man can quite emancipate himself from his age and country, or produce a model in which the education, the religion, the politics, usages, and arts, of his times shall have no share.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life wastes itself whilst we are preparing to live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without a rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whatever limits us we call fate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The life of man is the true romance, which when it is valiantly conduced, will yield the imagination a higher joy than any fiction.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A gentleman makes no noise a lady is serene.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a man has taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance immensely the value of your first.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The restraining grace of common sense is the mark of all valid minds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is in short cycles or periods we are quickly tired, but we have rapid rallies. A man is spent by his work, starved, prostrate he will not lift his hand to save his life he can never think more. He sinks into deep sleep and wakes with renewed youth, with hope, courage, fertile in resources, and keen for daring adventure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know that madness belongs to love,--what power to paint a vile object in hues of heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
