More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is time to be old To take in sail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's life is a progress, not a station.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am present at the sowing of the seed of the world. With a geometry of sunbeams, the soul lays the foundations of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One's enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All science is transcendental or else passes away.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men have come to speak of the revelation as somewhat long ago given and done, as if God were dead. The injury to faith throttles the preacher and the goodliest of institutions becomes an uncertain and inarticulate voice.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dearest events are summer-rain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The young man reveres men of genius, because, to speak truly, they are more himself than he is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A great man stands on God. A small man on a great man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To a physician, each man, each woman, is an amplification of one organ.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything in our world, even a drop of dew, is a microcosm of the universe.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Illusion, Temperament, Succession, Surface, Surprise, Reality, Subjectiveness,--these are the threads on the loom of time, these are the lords of life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. How far off, how cool, how chaste the persons look,begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men's thinkings run laterally, never vertically.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The arts and inventions of each period are only its costume, and do not invigorate men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A cynic can chill and dishearten with a single word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
