More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think no virtue goes with size.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
By virtue of the Deity thought renews itself inexhaustibly every day and the thing whereon it shines, though it were dust and sand, is a new subject with countless relations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When private men shall act with original views, the lustre will be transferred from the actions of kings to those of gentlemen.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The difference between talent and genius is in the direction of the current: in genius, it is from within outward in talent from without inward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul answers never by words, but by the thing itself that is inquired after.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Who looks upon a river in a meditative hour and is not reminded of the flux of all things?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
People say law but they mean wealth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fear always springs from ignorance.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But a compassion for that which is not and cannot be useful and lovely, is degrading and futile.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thought is the seed of action but action is as much its second form as thought is its first. It rises in thought, to the end that it may be uttered and acted. Always in proportion to the depth of its sense does it knock importunately at the gates of the soul, to be spoken, to be done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An action is the perfection and publication of thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the gatherer gathers too-much, Nature takes out of the man what she puts into his chest swells the estate, but kills the owner. Nature hates, monopolies and exceptions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is a greater joy to see the author's author, than himself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we commonly call man, the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not, as we know him, represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect, but the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our knees bend.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is time to be old To take in sail.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Live in the sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
'Tis a superstition to insist on a special diet. All is made at last of the same chemical atoms.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Religion must always be a crab fruit it cannot be grafted, and keep its wild beauty.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
