More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The sinew and heart of man seem to be drawn out, and we are become timorous desponding whimperers. We are afraid of truth, afraid of fortune, afraid of death, and afraid of each other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Among the multitude of scholars and authors, we feel no hallowing presence we are sensible of a knack and skill rather than of inspiration they have a light, and know not whence it comes, and call it their own their talent is some exaggerated faculty, some overgrown member, so that their strength is a disease.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man is not a farmer, or a professor, or an engineer, but he is all. Man is priest, and scholar, and statesman, and producer, and soldier.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But to most of us society shows not its face and eye, but its side and back. To stand in true relations with men in a false age isworth a fit of insanity, is it not?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Children and savages use only nouns or names of things, which they convert into verbs, and apply to analogous mental acts.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the tongue had not been framed for articulation, man would still be a beast in the forest.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Duty grows everywhere--like children, like grass.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no hostility to nature, but a child's love to it. I expand and live in the warm day like corn and melons.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Prayer as a means to effect a private end is theft and meanness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
