More quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Though we travel the world over to find beauty, we must carry it with us or we find it not . . . The difference between landscape and landscape is small, but there is a great difference in beholders.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I see my trees repair their boughs.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The music that can deepest reach and cure all ill is cordial speech.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men do what is called a good action, as some piece of courage or charity, much as they would pay a fine in expiation of daily non-appearance on parade. Their works are done as an apology or extenuation of their living in the world. I do not wish to expiate, but to live. My life is not an apology, but a life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A work of art is an abstract or epitome of the world. It is the result or expression of nature, in miniature. For, although the works of nature are innumerable and all different, the result or the expression of them all is similar and single.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We cannot forgive another for not being ourselves.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No institution will be better than the institutor.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Every man is a consumer, and ought to be a producer. He is by constitution expensive, and needs to be rich.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Let a man then know his worth and keep things under his feet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering Trade.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inaction is cowardice, but there can be no scholar without the heroic mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The terrors of the child are quite reasonable, and add to his loveliness for his utter ignorance and weakness, and his enchanting indignation on such a small basis of capital compel every bystander to take his part.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Justice satisfies everybody, and justice alone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Not in his goals but in his transitions, man is great.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The reason of idleness and of crime is the deferring of our hopes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Higher than the question of our duration is the question of our deserving. Immortality will come to such as are fit for it, and he would be a great soul in future must be a great soul now.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All natural objects make a kindred impression, when the mind is open to their influence.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Human character evermore publishes itself. The most fugitive deed and word, the intimated purpose, express character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
