More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the eye which makes the horizon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is not fed on sweets, Daily his own heart he eats Chambers of the great are jails, And head-winds right for royal sails.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The learned and the studious of thought have no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direction in some degree disqualifies them to think truly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wise men put their trust in ideas and not in circumstances.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man is a god in ruins. When men are innocent, life shall be longer, and shall pass into the immortal, as gently as we awake from dreams.
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
Some men love only to talk where they are masters. They like to go to school-girls, or to boys, or into the shops where the sauntering people gladly lend an ear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do.... Build, therefore, your own world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets — most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation but he shuts the door of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is a remedy for every wrong and a satisfaction for every soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The House ...She lays her beams in music, In music everyone, To the cadence of the whirling world Which dances around the sun- That so they shall not be displaced By lapses or by wars, But for the love of happy souls Outlive the newest stars.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Examples are cited by soldiers, of men who have seen the cannon pointed, and the fire given to it, and who have stepped aside from he path of the ball. The terrors of the storm are chiefly confined to the parlour and the cabin.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The vulgar call good fortune that which really is produced by the calculations of genius.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lose yourself in nature and find peace
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
