More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man can have society upon his own terms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The imagination and the senses cannot be gratified at the same time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is methodical, and doeth her work well. Time is never to be hurried.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no good theory of disease which does not at once suggest a cure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Of all debts, men are least willing to pay their taxes what a satire this is on government.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A healthy soul stands united with the Just and the True, as the magnet arranges itself with the pole, so that he stands to all beholders like a transparent object betwixt them and the sun, and whoso journeys towards the sun, journeys towards that person. He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life has a way of demanding that you live it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is the privilege of any human work which is well done to invest the doer with a certain haughtiness. He can well afford not to conciliate, whose faithful work will answer for him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One man pins me to the wall, while with another I walk among the stars
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A sublime hope cheers ever the faithful heart, that elsewhere, in other regions of the universal powers, souls are now acting, enduring and daring, which can love us, and which we can love.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every great achievement is the victory of a flaming heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One lesson we learn early, that in spite of seeming difference, men are all of one pattern. We readily assume this with our mates, and are disappointed and angry if we find that we are premature, and that their watches are slower than ours. In fact, the only sin which we never forgive in each other is difference of opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nothing is beneath you if it is in the direction of your life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An answer in words is delusive it is really no answer to the questions you ask.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little fact is worth a whole limbo of dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The house praises the carpenter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
As we refine, our checks become finer. If we rise to spiritual culture, the antagonism takes a spiritual form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
