More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is civilization? I answer, the power of good women.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The lord is the peasant that was, The peasant is the lord that shall be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the red slayer think he slays, Or if the slain think he is slain, They know not well the subtle ways, I keep and pass and turn again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato:-never enough to pay for an edition of his works yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them written in his hand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-command is the main elegance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No man has ever had a point of pride that was not injurious to him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Power ceases in the instant of repose it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.
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
Man's actions are the picture book of his creeds.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Love, and you shall be loved.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Christianity taught the capacity, the element, to love the All-perfect without a stingy bargain for personal happiness. It taught that to love Him was happiness--to love Him in others' virtues.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every vice is only an exaggeration of a necessary and virtuous function.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
