More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Judge may be a farmer but he is not to geld his own pigs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the East loves infinity, the West delights in boundaries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The difference between talent and genius is in the direction of the current: in genius, it is from within outward in talent from without inward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Skepticism is slow suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is young: the former great men call to us affectionately. We too must write Bibles, to unite again the heavens and the earthly world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Why should all virtue work in one and the same way? Why should all give dollars? It is very inconvenient to us country folk, and we do not think any good will come of it. We have not dollars merchants have let them give them. Farmers will give corn poets will sing women will sew laborers will lend a hand the children will bring flowers.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world is his who can see through its pretension.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great man is a unique. The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that part he could not borrow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He is great who confers the most benefits.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let not the tie be mercenary, though the service is measured in money. Make yourself necessary to somebody. Do not make life hard to any.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our eyes are holden that we cannot see things that stare us in the face, until the hour arrives when the mind is ripened then we behold them, and the time when we saw them not is like a dream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature forever puts a premium on reality. What is done for effect is seen to be done for effect what is done for love is felt to be done for love. A man inspires affection and honor because he was not lying in wait for these.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear is an instructor of great sagacity, and the herald of all revolutions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I unsettle all things.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth endures Stars abide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No nation has produced anything like his equal. There is no quality in the human mind, there is no class of topics, there is no region of thought, in which he has not soared or descended, and none in which he has not said the commanding word.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is a well-made man who has a good determination.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Many times the reading of a book has made the future of a man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
