More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Poetry makes its own pertinence, and a single stanza outweighs a book of prose.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The method of nature: who could ever analyze it?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A new degree of intellectual power seems cheap at any price.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everything runs to excess every good quality is noxious if unmixed.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Now that is the wisdom of a man, in every instance of his labor, to hitch his wagon to a star, and see his chore done by the gods themselves. That is the way we are strong, by borrowing the might of the elements. The forces of steam, gravity, galvanism, light, magnets, wind, fire, serve us day by day and cost us nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. Every influx of atheism, of skepticism, is thus made useful as a mercury pill assaulting and removing a diseased religion, and making way for truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am primarily engaged to myself to be a public servant of all the gods, to demonstrate to all men that there is intelligence andgood will at the heart of all things, and even higher and yet higher leadings. These are my engagements how can your law further or hinder me in what I shall do to men?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What we seek we shall find what we flee from flees from us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
But what help from these fineries or pedantries? What help from thought? Life is not dialectics. We, I think, in these times, have had lessons enough of the futility of criticism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like people who like Plato.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish that life should not be cheap, but sacred. I wish the days to be as centuries, loaded, fragrant.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philanthropies and charities have a certain air of quackery.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The civility of no race can be perfect whilst another race is degraded. It is a doctrine alike of the oldest and of the newest philosophy, that man is one, and that you cannot injure any member, without a sympathetic injury to all the members
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the Greek cities, it was reckoned profane, that any person should pretend a property in a work of art, which belonged to all who could behold it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
That which builds is better than that which is built.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For all symbols are fluxional all language is vehicular and transitive, and is good, as ferries and horses are, for conveyance, not as farms and houses are, for homestead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
