More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Intemperance is the only vulgarity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For the world was built in order around the atoms march in tune Rhyme the pipe, and Time the warder, The sun obeys them, and the moon.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The way of Providence is a little rude. The habit of snake and spider, the snap of the tiger and other leapers and bloody jumpers, the crackle of the bones of his prey in the coil of the anaconda-these are in the system, and our habits are like theirs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The babe in arms is a channel through which the energies we call fate, love, and reason visibly stream.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Extremes meet, and there is no better example than the naughtiness of humility.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Guard your own spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of the world is the tie between person and event. Person makes event and event person.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for his competitors, for it is that which all are practising every day while they live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All diseases run into one, old age.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If a teacher have any opinion which he wishes to conceal, his pupils will become as fully indoctrinated into that as into any which he publishes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We shall one day learn to supersede politics by education. What we call our root-and-branch reforms of slavery, war, gambling, intemperance, is only medicating the symptoms. We must begin higher up, namely, in education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If your friend has displeased you, you shall not sit down to consider it, for he has already lost all memory of the passage, and has doubled his power to serve you, and, ere you can rise up again, will burden you with blessings.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Aristotle and Plato are reckoned the respective heads of two schools. A wise man will see that Aristotle platonizes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Duty grows everywhere--like children, like grass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
