More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
People seem sheathed in their tough organization.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth is beautiful within and without, forevermore.
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
Hence, instead of Man Thinking, we have the bookworm. Hence, the book-learned class, who value books, as such not as related to nature and the human constitution, but as making a sort of Third Estate with the world and the soul. Hence, the restorers of readings, the emendators, the bibliomaniacs of all degrees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see my trees repair their boughs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the last lesson of modern science, that the highest simplicity of structure is produced, not by few elements, but by the highest complexity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
American mind a wilderness of opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I would study, I would know, I would admire forever.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour and is not reminded of the flux of all things?
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul is the perceiver and the revealer of truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women see better than men. Men see lazily, if they do not expect to act. Women see quite without any wish to act.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius has infused itself into nature. It indicates itself by a small excess of good, a small balance in brute facts always favorable to the side of reason.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the history of the individual is always an account of his condition, and he knows himself to be a party to his present estate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of themanly contemplation of the whole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
London is the epitome of our times, and the Rome of to-day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man becomes what he thinks about most of the time
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is one mind common to all individual men
Ralph Waldo Emerson
