More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first wealth is health.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every mind must know the whole lesson for itself,-must go over the whole ground. What it does not see, what it does not live, it will not know.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Gold and iron are good To buy iron and gold.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be a football to Time and Chance, the more kicks, the better, so that you inspect the whole game and know its utmost law.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we have arrived at the question, the answer is already near.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make youself necessary to someone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science in England, in America, is jealous of theory, hates the name of love and moral purpose. There's revenge for this humanity.What manner of man does science make? The boy is not attracted. He says, I do not wish to be such a kind of man as my professor is.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The powers of the Soul are commensurate with its needs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we see a soul whose acts are all regal, graceful, and pleasant as roses, we must thank God that such things can be and are.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Time is indeed the theater and seat of illusions nothing is so ductile and elastic. The mind stretches an hour to a century, and dwarfs an age to an hour.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you tax too high, the revenue will yield nothing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is an endless combination and repetition of a very few laws. She hums the old well-known air through innumerable variations.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
He in whom the love of truth predominates . . . submits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinion but he is a candidate for truth . . . and respects the highest law of his being.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
How much of human life is lost in waiting.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is as lazy as he dares to be.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We pray to be conventional. But the wary Heaven takes care you shall not be, if there is anything good in you. Dante was very badcompany, and was never invited to dinner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet. Thus, in his sonnets, the lays of birds, the scents and dyes of flowers, he finds to be the shadow of his beloved time, which keeps her from him, is his chest the suspicion she has awakened, is her ornament
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life loiters at the book's first page,-- Ah! could we turn the leaf.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
