More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The surest poison is time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We do what we can, and then make a theory to prove our performance the best.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If in the least particular, one could derange the order of nature, who would accept the gift of life?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He who would be a man must therefore be a non-conformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The essence of all jokes, of all comedy, seems to be an honest or well intended halfness a non performance of that which is pretended to be performed, at the same time that one is giving loud pledges of performance. The balking of the intellect, is comedy and it announces itself in the pleasant spasms we call laughter.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our best thoughts come from others.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Accept your genius and say what you think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yourself a newborn bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Best masters for the young writer and speaker are the fault- finding brothers and sisters at home who will not spare him, but willpick and cavil, and tell the odious truth.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Crossing a bare common, in snow puddles at twilight, under a clouded sky, without having in my thoughts any occurrence of special good fortune, I have enjoyed perfect exhilaration. I am glad to the brink of fear.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He only is rich who owns the day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever we go, whatever we do, self is the sole subject we study and learn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is too short to waste.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of a dollar is to buy just things a dollar goes on increasing in value with all the genius and all the virtue of the world. A dollar in a university is worth more than a dollar in a jail in a temperate, schooled, law-abiding community than in some sink of crime, where dice, knives, and arsenic are in constant play.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I like my boy with his endless sweet soliloquies and iterations and his utter inability to conceive why I should not leave all my nonsense, business, and writing and come to tie up his toy horse, as if there was or could be any end to nature beyond his horse. And he is wiser than we when [he] threatens his whole threat I will not love you.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We denote this primary wisdom as Intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the characterwhich draws them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
