More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best part of health is fine disposition
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Music is the poor man's Parnassus.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character teaches above our wills.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Reality is a sliding door.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The river knows the way to the sea: Without a pilot it runs and falls, Blessing all lands with its charity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sentimentalists ... adopt whatever merit is in good repute, and almost make it hateful with their praise. The warmer their expressions, the colder we feel.... Cure the drunkard, heal the insane, mollify the homicide, civilize the Pawnee, but what lessons can be devised for the debauchee of sentiment?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No hope so bright but is the beginning of its own fulfilment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are always getting ready to live, but never living... The wave moves onward but the particles of which it is composed do not... It cannot be but that at intervals throughout society there are real men intermixed . . . as the carpenter puts one iron bar in his bannister for every five or six wooden ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah, if the rich were rich as the poor fancy riches.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Bonaparte knew but one merit, and rewarded in one and the same way the good soldier, the good astronomer, the good poet, the good player.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Isolation must precede true society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman - repose in energy. The Greek battle pieces are calm the heroes, in whatever violent actions engaged, retain a serene aspect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
