More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Chiefly the sea-shore has been the point of departure to knowledge, as to commerce. The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a greater joy to see the author's author, than himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man's style is his mind's voice. Wooden minds, wooden voices.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The eloquence of one stimulates all the rest, some up to the speaking-point, and all others to a degree that makes them good receivers and conductors, and they avenge themselves for their enforced silence by increased loquacity on their return.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no calamity that right words will not begin to redress
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every individual strives to grow and exclude, to the extremities of the universe, and to impose the law of its being on every other creature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intemperance is the only vulgarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some will always be above others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Genius is the power to labor better and more availably. Deserve thy genius: exalt it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
God enters by a private door into every individual.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But genius looks forward: the eyes of men are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead: man hopes: genius creates.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men are conservatives when they are least vigorous or when they are most luxurious-they are conservatives after dinner.
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
Ah Fate, cannot a man Be wise without a beard? East, West, from Beer to Dan, Say, was it never heard That wisdom might in youth be gotten, Or wit be ripe before 't was rotten?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be brave enough to do the loving thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man's skin, - seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore it if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
