More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All ages of belief have been great all of unbelief have been mean.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The learned and the studious of thought have no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direction in some degree disqualifies them to think truly.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is one of the biggest blessing that you can be stupid with your true friends and behave like you shame to do elsewhere
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The aspect of nature is devout. Like the figure of Jesus, she stands with bended head, and hands folded upon the breast. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The hero is he who is immovably centered.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
To be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false,--this is the mark and character of intelligence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The intellectual man requires a fine bait the sots are easily amused. But everybody is drugged with his own frenzy, and the pageant marches at all hours, with music and banner and badge.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion which is to guide and fulfill the present and coming ages, whatever else it be, must be intellectual. The scientific mind must have a faith which is science.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All science has one aim, namely, to find a theory of nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It's a luxury to be understood.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Shall we then judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We find in life exactly what we put into it
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a compassion for that which is not and cannot be useful and lovely, is degrading and futile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A forte always makes a foible.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The efforts which we make to escape from our destiny only serve to lead us into it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let us leave hurry to slaves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But genius is religious. It is a larger imbibing of the common heart.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In different hours, a man represents each of several of his ancestors, as if there were seven or eight of us rolled up in each man's skin, - seven or eight ancestors at least, and they constitute the variety of notes for that new piece of music which his life is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Women, as most susceptible, are the best index of the coming hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
