More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the race is good, so is the place.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is wasted in the necessary preparation of finding what is the true way, and we die just as we enter it.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
In spite of warnings, change rarely occurs until the status quo becomes more painful than change. People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson
See only that thou work and thou canst not escape the reward.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Greatness once and forever has down with opinion.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Really, all things and persons are related to us, but according to our nature, they act on us not at once, but in succession, andwe are made aware of their presence one at a time. All persons, all things which we have known, are here present, and many more than we see the world is full.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every day, the sun and, after sunset, night and her stars. Ever the winds blow ever the grass grows. Every day, men and women, conversing, beholding and beholden. The scholar is he of all men whom this spectacle most engages. He must settle its value in his mind. What is nature to him?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America is a country of young men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is the city in which we sit here, but an aggregate of incongruous materials, which have obeyed the will of some man?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Little minds have little worries, big minds have no time for worries.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Judge may be a farmer but he is not to geld his own pigs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Adult males are what their moms designed them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we see a special reformer we feel like asking him, What right have you, sir, to your own virtue? Is virtue piecemeal?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy is the hearing man unhappy the speaking man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
