More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

It shall exclude example and experience.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue. Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I quote another man's saying unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The wonder is always new that any sane man can be a sailor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the vaunted works of Art, The master-stroke is Nature's part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who knows what sweets and virtues are in the ground, the plants, the waters, the heavens, and how to come at these enchantments - is the rich and royal man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
