More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is as lazy as he dares to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
We read often with as much talent as we write.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man should travel until he has learned the language of the country he visits. Otherwise he voluntarily makes himself a great baby - so helpless and so ridiculous.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Columbus discovered no isle or key so lonely as himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a compassion for that which is not and cannot be useful and lovely, is degrading and futile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experience is the only teacher, and we get his lesson indifferently in any school.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we seek we shall find what we flee from flees from us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man's life is a progress, not a station.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An original sentence, a step forward, is worth more than all the censures.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among provocatives, the next best thing to good preaching is bad preaching. I have even more thoughts during or enduring it than at other times.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
To accomplish excellence or anything outstanding, you must listen to that whisper which is heard by you alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
