More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The dice of God are always loaded.
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
And striving to be Man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fashion, though in a strange way, represents all manly virtue. It is virtue gone to seed: it is a kind of posthumous honor. It does not often caress the great, but the children of the great: it is a hall of the Past.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a willow of the wilderness, Loving the wind that bent me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Man exists for his own sake and not to add a laborer to the State.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A day is a miniature eternity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A state of war or anarchy, in which law has little force, is so far valuable, that it puts every man on trial. The man of principle is known as such, and even in the fury of faction is respected.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Concentration is the secret of strength in politics, in war, in trade, in short in all management of human affairs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of making Christianity a vehicle of truth, you make truth only a horse for Christianity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man of genius is privileged only as far as he is genius. His dullness is as insupportable as any other dullness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Isolation must precede true society.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like to be beholden to the great metropolitan English speech, the sea which receives tributaries from every region under heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Body cannot teach wisdom God only.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There can be no excess to love, none to knowledge, none to beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of light and of heat translate each other-so do the laws of sound and colour and so galvanism, electricity and magnetism are varied forms of this selfsame energy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Only that is poetry which cleanses and mans me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our opinions of the world, are confessions of character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
