More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power educates the potentate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The household is a school of power. There, within the door, learn the tragi-comedy of human life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The affections cannot keep their youth any more than men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All power is of one kind, a sharing of the nature of the world. The mind that is parallel with the laws of nature will be in the current of events, and strong with their strength.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the uttermost meaning of the words, thought is devout, and devotion is thought. Deep calls unto deep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The time will come when the evil forms we have known can no more be organized. Man's culture can spare nothing, wants all material. He is to convert all impediments into instruments, all enemies into power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose an opportunity to see anything that is beautiful. It is God's handwriting a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ah, if the rich were rich as the poor fancy riches.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labor is God's education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-borne treasures home.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear always springs from ignorance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A little praise goes a great ways.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Instead of feeling a poverty when we encounter a great man, let us treat the new comer like a travelling geologist, who passes through our estate, and shows us good slate, or limestone, or anthracite, in our brush pasture.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Skepticism? Yes, but a saint is a skeptic once in twenty-four hours.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Liberty is slow fruit. It is never cheap it is made difficult because freedom is the accomplishment and perfectness of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Solitary converse with nature for thence are ejaculated sweet and dreadful words never uttered in libraries. Ah! the spring days, the summer dawns, and October woods!
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
